    No, I truly have enjoyed my visits to Damascus, I wish I had been wrong.

    I actually saw the SPLC hate map a couple of months ago. I am traveling now, and thought I would but by the ATC HQ and run it by them first. But someone told me about the recent murder on the trail and in good conscience I decided I had to make the decision my. Thanks to all who have kept this about the trail, and the dignity an respect all deserve.

    I’d just reroute the AT around Damascus to avoid all of this hate. Or maybe the AT Conservancy can hire a shuttle driver to pick people up at the south Damascus trail head and drop them off at north trail head. Kind of like the guy who canoes people across the river in Maine.

    Here is a link to the "hate groups map by state" by SPLC.I only looked at Georgia and some of the examples on the map I found laughable based on my knowledge of the small towns listed.I would like to know how the SPLC gets to decide who makes the list and what actually constitutes a hate group.Also,is it illegal to be stupid and/or ignorant in this country yet?

    @five Tango the map is laughable. There is no specific location, data, information on the groups at a local level. It’s all general information. There is no proof given that these groups actually exist in these locations. No proof that I can find at least by reading the website

    I have 2 sex ofenders within 5 mi of my home.

    By rationale expressed in this thread....im a sex offender too. I suspect everyone is.


    The inference made by this thread and the OP is that the community of damascus supports and is in alignment with some wacko that has a PO box in town several miles away.

    LOL
    here's an idea
    to provide a "safe hiking space" for the snowflakes that are upset here

    why not just re-route the entire AT around the southern Appalachians?
    avoid all the states from the Confederacy
    Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia should be avoided
    full of hate groups, everyone in those states are full of hate

    ATC should post a WARNING at their website

    "IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED, AVOID THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE AT"

    you say this in jest but it wasnt long ago someone here posted an article, which found a great deal of resonance with some members, about how threatening and uncomfortable hiking in the south made someone feel. something about trump thrown in for good measure.

    bless their hearts,
    many Yankees do seem confused while hiking in the South

    especially when faced with food choices down south,
    it ain't like up north
    we've caught 'em putting milk on their grits and butter on their cream'of wheat

    I’m avoiding the south because of sweet tea.

    I don't know why we Southerners get such a bad rap.We've not killed a Yankee in my county since November of 1864 and it was only because they were down here burning farms and houses on their way to Savannah.

    Additionally,there has not been a death attributed to a lynchmob since 1946 (yes,I Googled it).This is not to say that racism,hate,and bigotry don't exist here but I seriously doubt it's any worse than any other area of the country;particularly the large metropolitan areas,many of which are well known for a history of violence,including our nation's Capitol.And while we are at it,let's not forget that other gun free zone,Chicago.

    So you may be subject to assault anywhere but from my perspective the probability lessens in the more rural areas in any state;especially those where grits are served.

    Jealous. Did you find them relic hunting or were they inherited or purchased? Sorry for off topic question but this thread is so junk and irrelevant that I'm not sure it matters at this point...

    Actually they were my 13th birthday present and purchased for only $50 back when items like that were considered "worthless old stuff." Yes,they each have dates of manufacture inscribed before the war started.

    Your info needs to be updated---as these two examples popped into my head without research---

    Is there a protest march in the making? We could get Jessie Jackson and his Rainbow Coalition to show up, and make all kinds of headlines.

    Sorry,I was implying Georgia since that is the state in which I reside.My Google search for Georgia listed a 1946 lynchmob in Walton County.This is not to say that other hate crimes have been committed by any particular group but this was listed as the last mob activity.
