Found: 1999 thomas knob shelter log
A friend sent me this tattered journal from Thomas Knob Shelter with scores of entries from April to August 1999. Written in the front is the following:
Please send to
1154 N 18th
Laramie WY 82070
I.C.O. Matt Zeimens
I did a little poking around and I'm having trouble finding anyone by that name living in Laramie now. Does anyone know Matt? Should I just mail this to the address and trust the universe?
A.T. Museum welcomes additions to Shelter Register collection
The A.T. Museum has a collection of shelter registers and very much welcomes new additions. (The Appalachian Trail Conservancy entrusted their collection to the museum and sends along any received to the museum.)
I would suggest sending a photocopy to the person who left the register and the original to the A.T. Museum, as these have so much value in documenting not only the culture of the Trail, but trail conditions, weather conditions, trail/shelter visitation, and any number of things of interest. They provide a fascinating and unique snapshot in time.
To contact the museum manager for the best way to mail the register or a copy, email [email protected].
