No, I found that one. The thread I was looking for was about the same incident, but Lone Wolf made the assertion that there was not, and never had been a cabin on White top. I did some quick Google searches and came back with some dates about the road and the resort hotel complex that had indeed been on White top. I was hoping to get some of that information again.
If you can come up with that thread, perhaps you should start a White blaze search service. Just have the search button link to you.
Some posts are deleted. If there is an argument and it gets out of hand or off topic, the moderators exercise there right to remove the post. I am doing another search to include LW. If I do not find it, I would suggest that the post was deleted.

I do not see it on web. It was likely deleted. I do not want to judge, but had I known you were looking to find a disagreement between you and another Whiteblaze patron, I likely would not have spent this amount of time on the search. Just saying. To quote 2 of my friends, "Peace out" and "it is all good".

I don't believe so. It wasn't a contentious exchange. Plus others who had lived in the area all their life had thanked me because they were never aware of that history. Forest service had removed most of the buildings in the late 70's
You can always go to LWs profile, find his posts, and read all of them. If its not there it was deleted.
So now that we have properly beaten the horse until dead, how long will cheese last on the trail if stored on the porch of the cabin on or not on Whitetop mountain which Lyle and Lonewolf amicably disagreed about in some ungoogleable thread at sometime maybe before Al Gore did or didn't invent the internet?Originally Posted by SCRUB HIKER:1449478

LOL. I know the feeling Lyle. I used to feel the WB search features were useless until I found out it wasn't so much the WB hardware, software, search feature, WB search engine, etc it was primarily the user, ME. Once I became more familiar with the WB search feature and the various options I got better results. I learned how to narrow my searches by making more targeted. Instead of getting impatient, frustrated, and annoyed with WB or it's search feature I chose to change me and my search approaches. For example, I now take a moment considering better more targeted key words before doing a key word search. It's why librarians and research assistants are so important, perhaps more important than ever, with the overload of information available through computers and the internet. These people save us time finding info faster because they often know exactly what we want, even when we don't exactly know what we want, and know where and how to access this info. That's why all librarians are now required to take classes in mind reading. Also, even though computers have gotten so much faster in getting us what we want, it's not like everything is instantly available. This I NEED INSTANT GRATIFICATION thing is over rated and has the potential for making us so impatient and annoyed and angry when something takes just a little bit longer than we think it should take.

I am looking into this issue right now. Please give me a little time to research this and see what I can do to resolve the problems.
Thank you
The search works, it is just VERY SLOW. So it will not return any results immediately or even time-out depending on your connection. I have used it many times and it works, but usually doesn't until right when I think it's done nothing at all.
I found that when you add a second search term, even in quotes (ie "big agnes") it only adds things it found in the search, not limits them. Here on white blaze, you need to use big+agnes to limit the search to find less when you add more search terms. That plus (+) sign is the difference from other search engines...
AH-HA! When I finally de-cloaked and posted here, I tried to search for "bear canisters" with and without quotes, and there were NO thread titles for a few search pages (admittedly, I gave up after a few), and so posted a question asking why I couldn't find any threads about them, and wound up being called a troll. Not ATTroll, mind you. (Admittedly again, I had a snarkly sig at the time, which I'm guessing a newbie isn't allowed to do here).
Now I see I need the "+" sign.
