There  was a time when the danger on the AT was primarily at the trailheads 
and  
those few shelters that were too easy to walk in to.  Drunken rowdy  
all-nighters are beginning to overtaking shelters well away from the  roads


Some wonder how wars get started but confrontation about cherished  territory 
may be one explanation.  Perhaps the solution lies in building  barriers to 
vehicles such as fallen trees, rocks on the trail, tire slicing  apparatus, or 
whatever the authorities (ATC Trail Maintainers) can think  up.  Disabling the 
vehicles in the early morning light  or pre dawn  darkness may cause some to 
think about where they have come and how far they  must hike for assistance.  
If Park personnel are called then fines can be  imposed for being in a 
restricted area, or confiscation of illegal vehicular  traffoc on hiking trails could 
take place.  
 
Certainly some creative management types on the ATC Board can come up with  
some good ideas.
