Chomp probably knows better than me, but Billville is the group campsite
where "hiker trash" gets together, usually at the Trail Days and the Gathering,
but they've spread out to other venues including Port Clinton and Duncannon.
"The Bill's" were a group that mostly hiked together on the AT in 2000. One or
two of the originators (maybe more) bought 8 identical red shirts from Tractor
Supply at a yard sale with the name "Bill" emboidered near Elk Park. You had
to be one of the group hiking north that year to be a "Bill" at the time, but
now it's basically open to anyone, that likes food, beer, hiking, talking
trail and having fun. Most have know each other for several years, others have
folded in.
They're also low impact partiers, you'll seldom know they were there when
they're gone.
