This is sad if it is true. It would be disappointing in the improper actions of a relative few ruin a very nice service. I stayed at the place on two different occasions. I always abided by all of the rules and left a nice donation, plus bought and left some consumables there (toilet paper, soft drinks, paper towels). It is always frustrating when folks do not act respectful of the generosity of others.

it's gone well beyond "a relative few". a large percentage (thru-hikers) do not donate for staying there. church, scout, other youth groups and section hikers DO donate and clean up after themselves.

if that's the case they should close to hikers and remain open for the others.
