[pct-l] Hiker Tipping

[Hiker97 at aol.com]

I like to offer to compensate folks  who help me along the trail with money 
and a big thanks.
 
If they do not want anything, I  tell them it is for the other hikers who 
come along.  It is for gas, etc.  to help others too.  It is not for them helping 
me.  It is to  support their effort to help others too. This works almost 
every time.
 
I remember one time coming out of  the Sierras and hitchhiking down highway 
395, I told a lady (who wanted  nothing) as she let me out at Lone Pine, that 
the $20 was for her car and  not for her.  It had done a good job and I wanted 
to reward it with oil and  gas.
 
She then took the  money.  :-)
