    Wish this had happened sooner. Passed by The Doyle on my thru this year because of the crazy, now ex, owner. Stayed in the dugout at the little league field instead. Nice sunrise.

    I hope they are open to thru-hikers this year; I am looking forward to staying there once I reach the HMW. Stayed at WHL in 2011 on a SOBO thru. I believe at the time, it was something around 30-35...
