Just because you don't see it doesn't mean the "designated campsite" rule doesn't exist. Perhaps you should get a copy of the Appalachian Trail Guide to New Hampshire-Vermont. Pg. 166 of the current...
On Sunday the 7th I sawed out some of the smaller downed limbs in the first two miles north of the parking lot at 140. These two miles were snow free and amazingly ice free too (southerly exposure)....
