[pct-l] PCT resupply stops/questions - Hikertown

[yogihikes at sbcglobal.net (yogi)]

My personal opinion is that Hikertown is creepy.  Especially if you're a woman.  Richard Skaggs made comments about the camera that was in the shower.  He's a retired movie director, so the chance that he could have a camera in the shower is not too farfetched.  When a female hiker's husband called, Skaggs made lewd comments on the phone regarding the female hiker.  
 
In 2003, when it was being built, hikers were required to help build the place.  I'm not opposed to helping out, but the way it went down was uncool.  In the heat of the day, hikers had to put in something like 20 minutes of work in the heat of the day for every hour resting in the shade.  The construction workers who were hired to do the renovations on the home didn't even work during the day.  They started working when the sun went down.
 
I don't see many 2003 PCT'ers on PCT-L lately, but if they're out there, I'm sure they'll have a story or two.  Maybe things changed in 2004.

All in all, it's a creepy place, and that's why it's not in my book.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my previous questions in regard to water, 
resupply stops, and, the WP guide data. To offer more variety from bear 
cannisters, I have a couple more questions:

1. (Section E.) Is "Hikertown" on Hwy. 138 in Lancaster open and available 
for resupply?

2. (Section B.) Has anyone stopped at Pat and Paul's "Hiker Oasis" on 
Gassner Rd. behind Camp Anza and is it a recommended stop?

Thanks again,
NaborJ
