[pct-l] Thoughts on having a full time trail angel.

[Wes Rose]

On a not-so-serious note, IF you do have a full time support person assisting
you along the trail, I'm going to step out and make a prediction that you will not
find yourself lacking for friends on the trail.

On the other hand, I can recall two hikers off the top of my head who had 
significant trail assistance via an RV support person.  One was Fireball in 2007:

appeared to manage their trip successfully if one defines success as, "finishing".
She drove and he hiked.  

Another in 2007 was "Disco Dan".  I cannot find the link to his trail journal, but I
recall that the comfort of the RV lured him into excessive "zero" days. Disco's 
arrangement was with a married couple; she hiked, he provided the support. 
He was stopped by heavy Washington snows less than 100 miles from the Northern 
Terminus.  Needless to say, he was not a happy camper.  

Whatever your decision, best success!
