Just an FYI on Big Sandy Lodge, I e-mailed Tim at BSL regarding whether they still accept packages for thru-hikers, and this is the response he e-mailed to me:<br>
<br>
"Hi, Due to a break-in of my cabin for a hiker to get his package last season,we won't be doing this service any longer, it will be removed from the website. Tim"<br>
<br>
So it doesn't look good folks :-(<br>

This is very sad news. I wonder if CDT hikers offered to take up a<br>
collection and pay for his damages if he would reconsider? I would be<br>
willing to contribute some if I might not ever be able to use BSL myself<br>
just to help other CDT hikers.<br>

I tried calling Tim yesterday, but got his answering sevice. No return call yet.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
No surprise about the answer - he's been hassled for the last five years or more<br>
<br>
by hikers who seem to think they're something special and have forgotten the<br>
<br>
meaning of the words courtesy and respect.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We used Big Sandy for both of our thrus. Now we won't have that option for the next<br>
<br>
one. In '99 he was enthusiastic and cooperative. By 2006, he'd been burned too many<br>
<br>
times by hikers who demanded maximum service for minimum (zero???) cost. And now<br>
<br>
some a$$---e has given him good reason to cut off service.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Sorry, gang - but I'm on his side. He doesn't get paid enough to put up with the crap<br>
<br>
that some (although not all ) hikers give him.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
So - who's gonna be the one to screw up the deal at Benchmark?<br>

Just talked to Tim at Big Sandy. He asked that Big Sandy be removed from all books,<br>
<br>
websites, etc with respect to CDT resupply. It'll be removed from <a href="http://spiriteaglehome.com" target="_blank">spiriteaglehome.com</a><br>
<br>
tonight.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
So... those who are hiking this year should make alternate resupply plans for that section<br>
<br>
of the trail. Pinedale is a possible option, but be aware that there's a gas boom and motel<br>
<br>
rooms are likely to be in really short supply, so don't count on actually staying there.<br>

in conversation with a hiker it was mentioned that maybe I should send out<br>
a reminder to hikers and their use of stock tanks for bathing purposes -<br>
with warmer weather coming on I'm sure the tanks look very inviting for a<br>
swim - this angers the ranchers to no end since the cows won't drink from<br>
them after human use - we have a big problem "down south" with illegals using<br>
the tanks to bathe and swim in - the rancher has to empty the tank, rinse<br>
it out, and refill it - I'm sure it's the same "up north" - it's okay to dip<br>
water from the tank and take bandana baths<br>
