I just received this email from a fellow hiker. I had no idea who he was. But, just wanted to share, what you already knew. The hiking community is there to support each other. These acts of kindness gives us all hope and encouragement in our fellow man.
Bilko.I had read your prelim to hiking Roan to Bland months ago and thought I’d keep an eye out for a vehicle parked at the top of Rt. 52, Brushy Mt. Bland, Va. Your vehicle was there the many times when my wife and I would drop off water on the AT just 3/4 mile from Rt. 52. The very day that you came thru and got your ride, your vehicle was there and when we came off of the forestry road, it was gone. We had driven on out the road to visit a friend’s cabin to check for illegal entry, etc. Best wishes to you in your endeavor to hike the AT. Sorry we missed you.
George and Ginny Fisher, Bluefield, Va.
Thanks George and Ginny. I will pass it forward. Bilko
