That sounds like some real magic there Captain! Hats off to you!!!!! I'm sure the hikers coming thru will appreciate it and will express their gratitude to you.

Sounds like fun, wish I could join you. You'd think you would get more responses. I guess people here don't know what to say about the "magic". BTW, I do trail "fun" not trail magic (cuz I ain't no fairy).

Wish I could make it but am only going to be near Damascus by then. Oh well..... Maybe next year.

I just missed this trail magic last year doing a SOBO section hike from Dragon's Tooth to Atkins. I think he held it a week earlier last year. I ran into a number of NOBOs who had taken advantage, especially since the bridge was out and the official trail was routed down the road right past thecaptain's house. I ran into 3 guys at Bailey Gap Shelter, some of whom had partaken (Uncle Bill, USC, and Pilgrim).

I walked by the last day (I forded the stream anyway) and think I saw his house and yard from across the lovely river.

update: spoke with miss tilly today..she said she would be shuttling hikers from her hostel to my house on june 3rd..by the way I am secure in my manhood and am not afraid of using the word "magic"...

Nothing "magic" about it. It's a well publicized feed.
