    Question Help! Kincora ( Bob Peoples) phone number is disconnected

    I tried calling Kincora today and both numbers i have are "disconnected/out of service" . Anyone know what's up? They get hit by a storm and lose power? Help? I am trying to verify a shuttle i set up for next week.

    As far as I know, (423) 725-4409 should work. If it doesn't, try me at (813) 763-7868 and I'll see if I can find something else that might work for you.

    Try, if you haven't already (423) 725-4409. If that doesn't work, let me know, I may be able to find you another number.

    There's a nice hostel/resort just down the road from Bob People's place (1/2 mile) that shuttled me to and from the airport...very nice young couple, dont have the number or remember the name of the hostel but it was something like "Black Bear Resort", I'm sure they're in the guide book if you have one. I stopped at Bob's place when I was trying to get home when a knee issue stopped my hike, I knocked on the door and he answerwed from hehind the door without opening it, I didn't get a warm fuzzy feeling about the place so I walked, more like hobbled, down to this place and they were exceptionally helpfull, let me use thier phone to make flight arrangements and then took me to the airport.

    So does anyone know what's going on at Kincora? Is he still in business or is it just a phone problem? I was planning on sending a resupply box there, but if Bob is backing out of business, I'll go elsewhere.

    Disconnected/out of service means you haven't been paying your phone bill.

    I suspect it is a 'cat' problem. In that the cats might be inadvertently knocking the phone off the hook. I had the same problem about a month ago and mentioned it to Bob.

    Kincora is still open and there has been a steady stream of hikers staying. I think the hostel phone has been disconnected, but the house phone number as Jack mentioned should still be OK. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the phone bill.
