[pct-l] San Diego Hiker Hosting

[Halfmile]

This year my girlfriend and I will be hosting PCT hikers in our
apartment in Chula Vista, eight miles south of San Diego.

We can offer hikers a deluxe air mattress in our spare room or a sofa
to sleep on, help with last minute errands, and early morning rides to
the PCT. Because of work schedules and rush hour gridlock we may not
always be able to pick you up at the airport, but a $5 bus/trolley
ride goes from the airport or Amtrak station directly to our door. If
you prefer the privacy of your own motel room, we can recommend nearby
motels and help with errands and transportation to the trail.

Kickoff week we are going to try something different...
We will be staying at the Lake Morena Campground April 18 - 22 and I
will commute back to Chula Vista each day for work. After work, I can
take a carload of hikers to the campground. You can spend the night at
the campground and in the morning I will drop hikers at the start of
the PCT at sunrise on my way to work.

We won't be able to do airport pickups Kickoff week, but a $5
bus/trolley ride will take you from the airport or Amtrak station to
the college campus where I work. A large grocery store and Rite Aid
drugstore are across the street and if needed we can swing by the
Chula Vista REI on the way out of town. During kickoff week, I will
return to Lake Morena Campground each day around 5 pm, so your flights
will need to arrive in San Diego by early afternoon for this to be a
good option for you.

Just email halfmile at pctmap.net and let us know how we can help.
