[pct-l] Big Walker Pass Food Ruck Marketing Ploy

[giniajim]

Long ago, there was a restaurant at Walker Pass (70s maybe).  It was in a guy's house; I don't remember a sign, but our host (we were working at China Lake) knew where it was.  You went in, sat in his living room, after a while he would come out from somewhere and ask you how you wanted your steak.  That was it for ordering.  Anyone remember anything about that?

  Switchback,

  Perfect timing.  I am planning to finish up northbound at Walker Pass
  around Sunday, June 6th (coming in from Cajon Pass).

  Looking forward to any healthy stuff you might have left over as well as
  to swap trail tales.  It will be much appreciated!  You guys are
  terrific.

  Thanks!!

  Yes, once again Manyon Ed is putting on the Walker Pass Food Ruck for
  PCT hikers.  This is a must attend event.  It is the afternoon of
  Thursday, June 3 to Sunday June 6.
   
  Meet many of your PCT heroes, like yours truly, Switchback the Trail
  Pirate.  Tons of food and drinks are free at the campground just down
  the hill and west of the trail at Walker Pass.  I am bringing the
  Trader's Joe cookies, donuts/rolls, M&M's, and chips.  Others are
  bringing other goodies for breakfast, lunch, and dinners.  
   
  This is stupendous.  This is unbelievable.  This is a Trail Angel event
  of biblical proportions.  I might even open a Pirate's Lair table and
  paint shelter stakes florescent orange, etc., for you like at the
  Kickoff.  I might even campout with the hikers in my hammock, but will
  probably sneak off to a nice motel in Kernville and a delicious trout
  dinner - like I had last year over looking the river and the rafters.
   
  Mid June is Manyon Ed's birthday, so do not forget to wish him a Happy
  Birthday too.
   
   
  Very humbly submitted for your consideration,
   
  Your obedient servant, Switchback
