[at-l] Hammock Camping on the Appalachian Trail

[kellyswhitman at hotmail.com (Kelly Whitman)]

Okay, this worries me.

I just figured out last night that I'm going to have a tough time staying in 
the shelters because I'm asthmatic and allergic to mice dander (and smoke, 
whether cigarette or pot).  I don't want to be around it let alone have it 
on my gear.  I don't care if there's room available in the shelter, I need 
room available in my bronchial tubes!  I was planning on doing the trip 
without staying in the trail shelters.  I didn't realize they'd be mandatary 
at any point.

Can I just explain that to a ranger if I'm sleeping nearby in a hammock?
