Taking a stone from Springer to Katahdin

[Chaco Taco]

My philosophy was getting stoned from Springer to Katahdin, besides in Damascus of course

[weary]

i guess technically it would violate LNT, but i am going to take one with me. "here comes the trail nazi's" DUN DUN DDDUUUUUHHHHNNNNN

Well, only if you want to. Maine already has multiple stones. But one more won't hurt.

I think this will be the philosophy I adopt for my thru also. After all, they do call it the long "green" tunnel.

I'm going to carry a 100lb stoner on my next section hike. Really blow people's minds.

I hiked with a stoner that probably weighed close to 220 lbs. at the start, maybe 175 at the end. i didn't carry him one step of the way though.

we always called them security team meetings and it was necessary to do perimeter security checks on a routine basis each day. This was only for the safety of the group of course!

i found a orphaned 3 pound potatoe hitching a ride in my backpack once with a note attached to it saying "please help me get to katahdin"
and thats exactly what i did as soon as i found another hiker heading in the same direction i picked up a rock once coming off springer but lossed/tossed it out way before big-k

I bet there are quite a lot of "taters" that make it to Kathadin each year.

This is the sort of thing which remains harmless until it catches on and becomes a common hiker tradition. After that you found a decade later that springers peak is strangely devoid of rocks.

Mt. Katahdin~elevation...12,000' above sea level.....

Mt. Springer~elevation....342' feet below sea level......

I know it is a tradition to take a small stone from Springer to Katahdin.

Does this violate LNT or because "everyone does it", it is OK?

Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints.

Where do the 80% of failures (personally I believe it is higher) leave their stones from Springer? Do they take them home?
