    Saw a thru-hiker helping an old lady rake her yard once--right where the trail crossed a residential neighborhood up in New England. Good trail magic.

    Good info. I've had good dealings in the past with The Barn. Too bad something has gone wrong.

    The hotel in Rural Retreat was bought by new ownership in 2007. They're not super hiker friendly...
