We finally have a name for the "Cubby 08" carvings on all the shelters in Maine. Who wants to lead the posse to give this guy a good beating.
why? he didn't hurt anything
LOne Wolf, had you worked seriously over the years maintaining the trail, I doubt you would have made that comment.
Regardless, this is what someone else commented:
Posted by Grizzly Bear:
"This kid vandalized almost every trail shelter in the state of Maine. He is no better than a street thug spray painting on the sides of bridges. You would think an Eagle Scout would have more respect for the trail, maintainers."

I havent worked seriously but honestly i dont seem the harm in that at all. I enjoy reading stuff like that. And he is definitely no where close being as bad "street thug". Some people need to take there chill pills.

He "vandalized" the shelters? Exactly what did he do? Sounds like that might be a little of an overstatment.
Those who worked in the rain, mosquitoes, and black flies, for most of a spring and summer will think of it as vandalism.
Those who think it isn't vandalism should do the same some time.
Let me suggest, John, that you think about how you would feel if you had built yourself a house -- or had one built for you. How would you feel if you came home one day and found it sprayed with paint? Would you consider it just a friendly juvenile prank? Or would you quickly call the cops?

Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.
Woo
I didn't take pictures, but just go hike Maine and you will see "Cubby 08" prominently carved in most of the shelters. After seeing it over and over it kind of pisses you off. It like seeing litter on the trail, but knowing that it was coming from the same person every time.
As Henry Thoreau famously said, some circumstantial evidence is pretty convincing such as when you find a trout in the milk.
When a thru hiker with the trail name of "Cubby 08" gets written up in a newspaper, I think one can fairly assume that when messages proclaiming "Cubby 08" are found carved into the wood of shelters they were most likely carved by him -- thougn I suppose it could be a wannabe girl friend trailing along behind.
