    The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.

    Jim"WingedMonkey", it's not a question of calmness, but of tech issues. I had shaded the post, copied it, pasted it into Whiteblaze, previewed it and all was well; HOWEVER, when I posted it in Whiteblaze evwerything went terribly wrong and LARGE ! I admit, I'm still a novice with all this electronic writing and beg your patience. I should have put it in a PDF and posted that, therefore please check out the attachment. I hope it generates an approval ?

    Smile Recent addition to Museum's exhibits ~ debued at the Trail Festival

    SIGNS FROM KATAHDIN, SPRINGER, & CENTER POINT KNOB (the long-lost bronze plaque) EXHIBIT

    Attached please find a recent article about this new exhibit addition ~ the signs from the northern and southern termini plus the long-lost (40 years!) Center Point Knob Plaque. Both the Katahdin terminus sign and the Springer Mt. terminus sign were actually on those spots for some years, but have been replaced with newer, same-appearance, signs. The story of the Center Point Knob sign is an amazement. Hope you enjoy the article.

    Default 2 recent newspaper articles

    RECENT NEWSPAPER ARTICLES ~ FYI

    Two recent newspaper articles were forwarded to me by Joseph F. Patterson of the Appalachian Trail Museum, Communications Committee and I want to pass them along to you.

    One is contained within an article from "The Washington Post" and reads as follows:


    "Serene hiking trails can be found all over the eastern seaboard and throughout the Appalachian Mountains. A good place to start is the Appalachian Trail Museum, says writer Christine Dell’Amore. The country’s only official homage to hiking opened last June in an 18th-century grist mill in southern Pennsylvania’s Pine Grove Furnace State Park, near the midpoint of the 2,181-mile Appalachian Trail. Each year several hundred people trek the entire greenbelt of protected land that wends its way from Georgia to Maine and passes right in front of the museum, which is run by the Appalachian Trail Museum Society.
    …Of course, the Appalachian Trail — and the museum — isn’t just for long-distance hikers, museum manager Margy Schmidt told me. A common adage is “Hike your own hike” — whether that’s six months sleeping under the stars or a day’s trek to a viewshed, as the trail’s scenic lookouts are called."

    For the entire article click on this link http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/travel/last-minute-dc-summer-vacations-new-york-beaches-the-appalachian-trail-and-the-peaks-of-virginia/2011/08/01/gIQA9blAqI_story.html


    The other article is from today's "The Franklin News-Post", titled "Finding Hope on the Trail" written by Charles Boothe,July 8 ~see the attachment please~

    Cool Katahdin ~ A. T. 's northern terminus ~ some notes FYI

    Since many thru-hikers, who began the A. T. in March have just completed their hike or will complete it shortly, and since the A. T. Museum's mission is to preserve the history of the A. T. and J.R. Tate "Model-T" is a board member of the Museum, besides a fine trail author, I want to share these excerpts from his book ("Walkin' With The Ghost Whisperers, Lore And Legends Of The Appalachian Trail") about the northern terminus of the A.T. , Katahdin. ~see thumbnail

    For more info about Model-T and his books, click on this link: http://modelt.homestead.com/

    Thumbs up A few recent additions to Appalachian Trail Museum's website

    The following two links are from the Appalachian Trail Museum's website, under the tab "Special Features".
    They are fairly recent additions which I think merit your review; I hope you find them informative, interesting, and enjoyable.

    The first is of three short (10 - 15 minute) archival videos entitled "The Early Days of the Appalachian Trail", produced by the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club. It shows, in black and white, trail and cabin construction, footage of Myron Avery, and many early Appalachian Trail volunteers at work and play.
    ~ click on:
    http://www.atmuseum.org/FA_PATC_Video1.htm

    This second link (5 1/2 pages) is "Excerpts from a Forthcoming Biography of Earl Shaffer" by David Donaldson and Maurice Forrester.
