Re[3]: [at-l] Hammocks and the Whites

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

"...I'd hate to think a pack of rowdy cub scouts could wipe out a species." says
Terrapin.

 There's one extremely rare flower near the Lake of the Clouds hut that is
 totally off limits to even hikers. The trails in the area tend to be built with
 relatively smooth walking surface and rock barrier walls in an attempt to keep
 people off the fragile vegetation.

 Most resist the temptation to leave the trail and traverse the jumble of
 boulders just off the trail. The AMC has some pretty wise trail crews. From
 long experience in an overused area they know and apply all the passive
 people-control trail-building techniques.

  GRadually the great expanses of trampled vegetation from 30 years ago are
  recovering.
