Just repeating our hosting announcement for those who might have
missed it last month. At this point we still have room most days.
---------------
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 be commuting to Chula Vista for work. After work, I will take a
carload of hikers back to the campground. After spending the night at
the campground I can drop hikers at the start of the PCT on my way to
work around sunrise.
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 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.
Email halfmile at pctmap dot net and let us know how we can help.
