Thank you to APPLE, the Trail Angel at Lujan Creek Trailhead in Segment 17 who helped us out by watching our truck and then our 3 horses while we went back to get our other vehicle. He treated us to pop, water and goodies and it was sure a treat! Hope to see you next year APPLE when we start Segment 18! Kelly & Rick

Could this be the same Apple who has the dome on the AT each year?

It is the same. The dome got destroyed this winter in an ice storm, though. :bawling APPLE

Some of us appreciate your kind efforts.
Please keep tooting that horn.
Hope to see you next year at Lujan Pass.

Your efforts are certainly appreciated. Thanks much for the soda, cell phone use and valuable water info that for some reason the guidebook neglects in that section!

I received trail magic from Apple in April. I want to publicly thank him.

Hey, some of us do visit this message board. I met you near Wayah Bald in 2003. You were preparing to set up your hiker Trail Magic camp site when I was coming through in early March. Me and my hiking partner helped you haul stuff from your vehicle and then enjoyed some goodies before we headed north on the AT. I hiked again in 2004 but didn’t start until April 4th. So, I missed you on my second hike. Thanks for all you do for hikers. We do appreciate your efforts. Most of the people passing through my home state of New Hampshire know who you are. So keep on tooting your horn.

Many THANKS to you Apple! We came through CT in mid-July and it was a real TREAT to see you out there. To see you again on Segment 18 the next morning checking on water availability was way over the top! Our thanks is way insufficient. For those of us on CT, maybe the best we can do is send in some $$ to CTF on behalf of all of Apple’s service.

Apple - we met in 2006 near the start of my thru-hike. You fed me orange pop and I ate around 5 hot hot dogs…then a group of us spent a warm night in your dome tent with lights, food, and all the amenities of a hotel room (kinda) Anyways…I continued on to Maine and made it because of awesome people like you - thanks!:girl

I appreciate the kind words and hope to see you all again on the At or CT. The post titled “I have no self worth” was posted by a troll, not me. Strange way to get your jollies. APPLE
