AT Hiker Shuttle

AT Hiker Shuttle Howdy! I’m 'Stray Cat' ('96). I provide shuttles to or from anywhere on the AT to or from the Hanover, NH/Norwich, VT area. Reliable, Safe, Insured. Hi.

Serving the hiker community for 23 years. I’m Steve “Stray Cat” Lake. Thanks for checking with me for your hiker needs. I provide shuttles to or from anywhere on the trail if your hike begins or ends near Hanover, NH. I'm very familiar with all of the trail heads having provided AT shuttles for 20 years now. If the trail crosses a road, I’ll find it. I'm an Appalachian Trail “thru hiker” (well, ME

to PA in 1996 and PA to GA in 2006)
In addition to providing shuttles, I'm happy to help you with logistical planning, i.e. parking, lodging, gear, resupply and information on other valuable AT resources. I also offer slack packing options, emergency extraction support and resupply delivery. I like to keep my finger on the pulse of the trail in VT/NH sections. I regularly get updates on current trail conditions, water source reliability, weather forecasts and other vital trail data. Let me know if I can help and hope to see you soon. Steve “Stray Cat” Lake
Be safe, be strong and take time to just, BE.

Possible great news for hikers.
Lyme Disease Vaccine

Pfizer is seeking regulatory approval for a Lyme disease vaccine that showed 73.2% efficacy in a late-stage clinical trial. If cleared, it would be the first human vaccine against the tick-borne disease approved in over two decades.

Lyme disease is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected deer tick, with symptoms ranging from a rash to fatigue and arthritis. Roughly 500,000 Americans are diagnosed with or treated for the bacterial infection annually (explore prevalence near you), and most fully recover after a 10- to 14-day course of oral antibiotics. Some patients—including several celebrities—report persistent symptoms, though chronic Lyme disease is not recognized by conventional medicine. The last human Lyme disease vaccine was introduced in 1998 but withdrawn in 2002 after unproven side-effect concerns sank demand.

Pfizer's vaccine application may face scrutiny; too few trial participants contracted Lyme disease to prove the shot was effective in at least 20% of the worst cases—a key metric.

RIDDLE ME THIS:
Three brothers were traveling late into the night when they came to an Inn. They decided to stay the night and the innkeeper said it would be 30 pieces of gold. The brothers paid 10 pieces each and left for their rooms. The innkeeper decided to give them a discount and asked the caretaker to return 5 gold pieces to them. The caretaker did not know how to split the 5 pieces of gold 3 ways evenly so he pocketed 2 pieces and gave each brother 1 piece of gold. This means that the brothers paid 9 pieces of gold each. Now, 3 times 9 pieces is 27 plus the 2 that the caretaker pocketed equals 29 pieces. What happened to the other piece of gold?
