Jim, grumpy, and lucky moon are a pleasure to be around. If you are a thru hiker, I recommend doing a work for stay. It gave me a new level of appreciation for all that hostel owners and staff do for the hiking community. My first stay with boots off was in 2020 and it was a great experience. I just finished a work for stay and it was also a great experience. The owner is a great guy and is invested in the hiking community
