Wow, Yogi. That's the least endorsement I have ever heard of a trail town ever on any trail. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 26, 2013 at 12:50 AM, Jackie McDonnell <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:yogihikes@gmail.com" target="_blank">yogihikes@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p>2012 was a whole different experience. The people there were RUDE, and hated hikers. No, I'm not imagining it. </p>
<p>Matt and I were sitting at the bar in the Mercantile. They CLEARLY knew we were hikers: we looked like hikers, plus we nicely asked the bartender (owner?) where he wanted us to put our packs. The Bartender was indifferent to us until some other guests sat right next to us. Then the bartender started talking to those guests about how much the bartender dislikes hikers. Hello? We're RIGHT HERE.</p>
<p>While we were at the bar, I called to that B&B you mentioned. I asked about getting a room, and the conversation was fine until I said we were CDT hikers. The B&B person immediately decided he didn't have any rooms, and hung up on me.</p>
<p>So, I say skip AC.</p>
<p>South Pass City: yes you can mail out, but it's not a Post Office. The lady in the store takes your money, then she mails your package when she goes to town (I'm guessing Lander). South Pass City is not a "town". It's an historical site.</p>

<div>For our section hike this summer we are planning a stop at South Pass and/or Atlantic City. </div><div>Sounds like we can mail a package to the "post office" in South Pass. Any one know if you can mail things out from there?</div>
<div>Has anyone stayed in the cabins the Atlantic City Mercantile rents? I was thinking a hot shower and soft bed would be nice after crossing the Basin. I heard there is also an upscale BandB in Atlantic City. Anyone been there?</div>
