Re[6]: [at-l] Hammocks and the Whites

[Bob Cummings <ellen@clinic.net> (Bob C.)]

"...Nowhere on the AT is camping so tightly controlled and regulated (as far as
I know) as in the SMNP and in AMC  territory," reports Terrapin.

And for the same reason. The Whites are the mountain playground for a quarter of
population of the nation, as is Shenendoah. Probably 100 million people live
within a day's drive of both areas.

And both are tiny areas relative to the demand for accomodations. The AMC huts
are an artifact from an earlier age -- as are the AT shelters for that matter.
But like many historical things, people are reluctant to let them just fade
away.
