[pct-l] Fwd: Inaugural "Arrivel of the Hikers" BBQ

[be hope]

Hi all,

Hope all that stop at HikerTown have a restful and fun time there this
season.  Richard, Bob, and their families are wonderful and generous folks,
as are all in the community of Neenach. For those stopping in Casa de Luna,
ask Joe and Terri to tell the neat story how Richard first "met" PCTers.
 By the way, thanks to Richard's vision, initiative, and generosity,
HikerTown II is well beyond the planning stage.

be hope

PS:  Please ignore the RSVP at the end of Richard's message.  I was suppose
to be testifying at a trial involving a Neenach resident this week (and
visiting HikerTown too) but the County of LA deployed yet another delaying
tactic.  So I'll miss the inaugural BBQ:  rats !

  Hello,

 The Inaugural "Arrivel of the Hikers" BBQ will be hosted at HikerTown this
Friday the 18th.

 The event will start at 11:30 at 26803 W. Hwy 138 (NorthEast corner of Hwy
138 and 269th St.). It's our way of introducing the local community to the
swarm of Pacific Crest Trail hikers that pass through the West Antelope
Valley this time of year.

 HikerTown is strategically located to provide a place for PCT hikers to
prepare for the next difficult phase of their long journey: the hot and dry
crossing of the Mojave Desert.

 Local stores and restaurants have benefited from the annual arrival of
hikers. Many hikers have required transport to local hospitals on arriving
at HikerTown, a service that the HikerTown staff seriously provide without
question. HikerTown is a place for hikers to prepare and recover,
and provides a much-needed oasis in one of the harshest desert environments
on the planet.

 There are several confirmed guests so far, such as Greg Madieras of Tejon
Ranch. Other invited (but unconfirmed as of yet) guests include
State Assemblyman Steve Knight, representatives from the major local solar
companies, and the local press. It should be quite an interesting event.

Please RSVP by "Replying" to me.  I hope to see you there.

 Richard Skaggs
