Feeding Through-hikers

Pomfret, VT is far from urban, but it is a cute little town. There's a general store there, called Teago, that serves the best breakfast. Because of its proximity to both the Appalachian Trail and Long Trail, through-hikers were always there grabbing a bite and resting. I loved hanging out there on weekend mornings in my van, snacking, and hearing about their adventures. I'd often spot them their coffee or bagel. I am not made for through hiking like that, but I love the idea of it and hearing stories from others. Have you ever run into a through-hiker in town or in the city?
