All along the Appalachian Trail people from the local communities will reach out to the traveling hikers and help them in a variety of ways.

I have enjoyed being the trail manager for my son as he has experienced the Appalachian Trail this year. I have sent him care packages at designated post offices. I have kept him advised of weather conditions. I have met him a few times along the way to encourage him, clean his clothes and restock

We would hike into the Appalachian Trail and camp at the Rausch Gap Shelter near the Fort Indiantown Gap Army post. I didn’t know anything about the Appalachian Trail so

We’ve lost the Rainbow and we’ll lose more.

10AprilPastor WesChristian Living
