    Hey Math Wiz, I'm sorry.... but isn't $400/oz just about what decent weed goes for????? Consider taking up a different hobby.... long distance hiking is full of such little "adventures", and you obviously don't have the right attitude for such.

    I think we should reroute the AT around that area if people are going to complain as AT hikers party. If the locals don't appreciate all that the entitled hiker has to offer, they should lose all the great benefits brought to those areas by said entitled hikers. Those areas will likely go bankrupt without all the great things being brought to them by hikers going through. I mean really! How does any good place survive without AT hikers?

    Sarcasm alert. My post makes about as much sense as some of the other garbage I read posted about other areas that don't appreciate trouble makers.

    Don't camp near roads. Pretty darn basic. Weed on the AT? Oh g*d please say it ain't so!

    I'm still laughing to myself over the "hard drugs" that go for $400/oz...it's just so extremely naive. (no offense to the OP...it's good he doesn't know about such things...or watch TV or the news for that matter either I guess).

    I got to MT Algo shelter in winter once. Empty, but gear all over the place. Took my spot, then the local kids started to show. After some whispering, one kid came up to me and demanded that I leave because I was too old to be around the young kids. I chuckled at him, and he said they were going to carry on inspite of me.........fine Brenda! I the morning I woke their drunk hung over a$$es up. Told them when I was leaving...."if Brenda wasn't such a jerk, I might have shared!"

    Give him a break. There were vehicles present, I would have called too if people were leaving the party site and driving. Impaired drivers don't need to be on the road.

    Default Drug party near Kent AT

    Why are so many people on here willing to push it all off on the locals?? There are "hikers" using hard core drugs on the trail and I know this having both been told by a "hiker" that they could hook me up and having been present in the area where the drugs were using used (in this instance acid) The users having warned the group of non-users after everyone had sent up camp for the night. Why does/should their right to party in a disruptive manner supersede my right to quietly enjoy the trail. As a solo female hiker I'm not comfortable confronting this situation nor would I have been comfortable hiking off into the night in order to escape them so I am not certain what the solution is. But from what I have heard they are some of the people involved in the situation that caused the place in Kent to get shut down recently. If I know this certainly others do as well.

    $400/oz sounds like the going price for good weed in a rich town like Kent. Mind your own business.
    YUP! That's a weed price being verbalized...so I hear. I think you're way off base Greenmtboy jumping to incorrect asumptions especially on hard core drug use based on the limited info you shared.

    I thought those New Milford would be busy hanging out in Tory's Cave.

    I didn't see any of the earmarks of a pot party; glowing pot cigs. and pipes, wafting pot smoke, coughing, etc.. I'm standing by my assessment that it was hard drugs; actually the state police asked me how did I know it was hard drugs? I said, what did you expect me to do confront the low lifes? And they said that was not your job to find out. I stayed in my tent, I did take down a bunch of plates and some pictures of the cars, and provided them to the cops. No I never used drugs myself; just saw too much wreckage from drug use. The whole scene of the druggies was weird, roughly 20 cars, initially I thought it was a group of hikers, then it dawned on me no way as I saw the coming and goings of those jokers. Of course the police are leery of doing raids, and people are hesitant to report this type of activity because of all the stigmas against whistleblowers.

    You earlier stated that "there were high end cars as evidence of drugs. Truth is high end or not that's not evidence of drugs. Then you're taking down tags. Wow, you're clearly in over your head. Not questioning your right to do so, just questioning the wisdom to do so.

    and by your "assessment"----what other evidence of any drug use did you see?


    sounds like the only illegal thing that was going on was your camping there...............
