Jack called tonight from Dalton, Massachusetts. I didn't talk to him long because he had little cell phone reception but he did get to tell me a little bit about where they are staying. The trail runs through the town of Dalton. There is a man that lives on the trail and Jack heard word of mouth and read it is his "AT Bible" that this man (and a few others townfolk) allow hikers to camp in their yards when they are walking through town. Jack and Randall walked up to his house and saw some other hikers out front. Jack asked if they thought he would let them camp in his yard and the other hikers said "He'll probably let you sleep in the house." Jack spoke to the man and he said they could stay in the house and to put their dirty clothes in a pile and he would start a wash!
His cell cut out before I could get this man's name or any details about what they've been up to. Hopefully he will call me back tomorrow.
