<p>Where to start. I think most of the word of mouth from NOBO's is what kept the SOBO's away. Cat piss and ashtray smell is not what hikers come to the CDT to experience. Sorry. </p>
<p>Or maybe trail angel is a misnomer. Closer to a man in it for the wrong reasons (money) is more apt. Trail angeling is a labor of love.</p>
<p>Maybe it was not your ommission from the Yogi guides, but your online attacks of her and your snarky comments about her. Yogi didn't put you in her guide. That doesn't excuse you from dragging her through the mud. If you have nothing nice to say... </p>
<p>Maybe all or maybe none of the above are reasons for the avoidance of your "hospitality". </p>
<p>Worldwide</p>
