Two weeks ago I was in Maryland to hike a section of the AT there and kept running into a homeless man at the trail-head/parking lot (Weverton), on the tow path and at the shelters. He told me that he was homeless, that he had been incarcerated for a sex crime (7 months....the things people will tell you! ) and he also was touching himself sexually. He calls himself "Jesse" and "the Better Way". I have reported this to the ATC and to the Rangers in Gathland SP. This is a heads up to my AT tribe. Watch out.
