Springer Mtn. Trail Register Home

You are absolutely right that many don't even know it is there. I certainly didn't know and didn't see it when my group of 4 started at Springer on July 31, 2003 for a section hike to Neels Gap. So, none of us signed it.

Of course, I've been to Neels Gap twice now and have yet to see a register there either, though I've heard there is one!

Cool! First time I've ever seen evidence of this. I wonder how long it took to get it in there?

THIS time (Sunday, February 29, 2004), I did see the register and got to sign it!

But... still forgot to pick up a pebble. Ah well. NEXT time!

Nice picture. That is definitely a different place to put a register.

I\'m pretty sure that I would have missed the register when I summited last April. Thanks to this picture, the start of my Georgia section hike is retained for posterity.

The only problem I see with the location is that it was fully exposed to the 40 mph gusts coming in from the west. Even in my wind gear we only stuck around long enough to sign and take a few pictures before moving on to the shelter to have an early lunch out of the wind.

When I was therethe register was in a plastic bag wedged in a crack in the rock. Was this a recent change or did I just miss the real register and sign an \"alternate\" register placed there by a hiker?

Missed it you did It's been there since at least 97, my first visit to Springer. I found it by accident, dropped something at a point when I looked up, there it was.
