Ridiculous. First the government reduces/threatens our individual freedoms and then it seeks to reduce our mountain FREEdom. Where was the ATC and ALDHA on this? How about the NPS AT Park office? All I can say is: catch me if you can. 


If anyone would like to be in a high-profile, principled, non-violent, group action concerning this, I'm willing to organize something like this around 2013 National Trails Day. If a band of Cherokees could hike out from forced removal by government troops, surely 200-300 unregistered, unpaid backpackers organized to occupy the park for a few days could create a national stir on this all-important mountainFREEdom issue. 


For the FREEdom of the hills,

I wonder how many years we could have avoided this if we took thehalf a BILLION Owebama gave to Solyndra for the campaign donations he got and sent it to the Smokies??

oooo  ....  politics!  lets just talk guns on the trail.  LoL. 

In general, the federal government wastes about half it's budget.  Just 
think what could be done about the debt, gas prices, and better parks.

It?s legal to carry on most of the AT.  Lots of them legally carried there already. 

So what do you want to talk about?  Weight?  Logistical issues?  Calibers? ??

Chainsaw

FWIIW, the logistical issues are mind boggling for a long-distant hiker and I was too much of a ounce / gram counter to carry on a long-distance trek.

I've been on this mailing list for several years. Many times I've wondered,
do the people on this list actually hike, or do they just discuss silly
stuff like green counter tops?

Still, the last few messages surprise me. I didn't expect to see
the pejoratives and off-topic claptrap.

Why don't people go outside and get some fresh air.

We're at the end of winter.  People start getting testy.  

I agree.  Everybody needs to go for a hike.  I did Bears Den to Harpers Ferry weekend before last.  Need to figure out a plan for my next trip, in 10 days.  The hardest part of monthly backpacking trips is planning the itineraries.

I agree!!!? The fact that the federal Govt. has decided to charge fees to hike and camp instead of wise use of tax dollars is complete off topic claptrap.? Has nothing to do with hiking or camping.? This political stuff is getting out of hand!
