I am looking for some help in the Harpers Ferry, WV area
I am looking for someone in the Harpers Ferry area that can help me out.
I need some help identifying and checking out a few things in the Harpers Ferry area and on the trail in that area.
This will require a gps and may require about (1.5) miles of walking.
If you think you can help me out in this area, please send me a PM and I can explain what I need.

Thank you

Attroll

The Jack Tarlin Hostel (Baltimore Jacks) and it will be permanently closed

Published on 08-18-2021 23:48

Here is a post from Ron Haven.

Attention A T Hikers. I sold the Jack Tarlin Hostel (Baltimore Jacks) and it will be permanently closed as of today (08/21/2021). I have sold all the motels in Franklin and Georgia. I do have other properties in Franklin I could use as a hostel if we decide later to open a hiker business. We may even buy a motel in Gatlinburg, TN. We are considering buying a house in Arizona or Texas to live in part time. Thank all of you for giving me the chance to serve each one of you throughout all these years and God Bless.
Ron
