Ditto that for 2012 Peanut Eater. The folks with the tepee were incredibly hiker friendly. The business is the: Miner's Grubstake, 150 East Atlantic City Main St, Atlantic City, WY 82520, 307-332-0915 We sent our packages there and they were happy to hold them. Give them a call to make sure they are still doing it before sending a package. They let some folks stay overnight in the tepee. They menu is very limited, but all you've got to do is ask. They've got all kinds of stuff they will cook up that isn't on the sheet. We had shrimp and steaks and an all round great dinner, but it was all cooked up special. Super friendly and very outgoing. <div>
<br></div><div>Atlantic City also has a brand new Community center with 8 or 9 computers, right next to the firehouse. You walk right by it as you come into town. It is open limited days, but we hit it right. They were incredibly helpful to a whole bunch of us who dropped in unexpectedly without a room anywhere. The Mercantile was closed when we got there, so didn't get to experience the hospitality, or lack thereof, while we were there. Clearly the town is a mixed bag at this point, but the Miner's Grubstake and the community center were wonderful.<div>

Fortunately the front door wasn’t locked and I persuaded the guy inside to find my resupply box. It seemed a bit of a creepy place at the time. Then I went to the bar/restaurant next door with the tepee on the grass outside. The name of the place escapes me at the moment (maybe Yogi can help here), but they were very nice and helpful. They gave me a phone number of a local trail angel who let me stay overnight. They were also talking about expanding to provide a small hiker area with a lounge and laundry facilities. Not sure if that ever materialized or even if they are still around, but if they are I would recommend that place to visit in Atlantic City.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
