A volunteer who gives kind assistance to our fellow hikers (usually it’s for a hiker(s) that is hiking a segment or the whole trail and could be staying overnight in the town, it could be a hiker coming thru needing a ride to the local grocery, doctor, shoe store, etc. …., a go-to-person for a hiker!)
