Thank you, Jeff. I have been searching through old threads and the one you linked is what I was looking for.
I appreciate everyone's input.
I plan on opening a hostel on the AT, starting with buying the perfect piece of property in November after I hike the CDT. I have seen many hostels over the last couple years on the AT and PCT and plan on building one that incorporates the best services of each. This hostel will be something to look forward to on your hike. It will be great.
I look forward to seeing you guys there.
