Fixed the typo for ya.
Are Chicken Ankles really what it's all about?
+1 on fixing the typo bulldawg49! MSNBC = government controlled media.
Thanks. I stay away from all the cable stuff. With a 3 year old I mostly stick to Scooby, Sponge Bob Micky and Dora. Much more accurate and rewarding than news.
Yes it does. I have been there 2xs and felt uncomfortable both times. I very rarely feel like that in the woods.....
Be Prepared

I would have just shot him. Less hassle.irish bastard,I'd report it to the local police,then give the ATC a call,really not that big of a deal to make to calls.[/QUOTE]
A man after my own heart. I'd have to say someone would have got shot in the face and it wouldn't have been me.

No need to mention it to anyone. Just keep walking.
Incorrect advice. Another fellow I know experienced an attempted mugging a couple weeks ago on the AT. I will try to catch him or someone who knows where it happened. Reporting incidents like these HELP HIKERS which is pretty great in my opinion and as a matter of FACT.

Did you catch that LN said to wack em first,still the same advice,but not as cut and dry as that second quote.Incorrect advice.

It's called "Lyme" disease, not "Lymes" disease! (Hint: There's only one Lyme)

If anyone has something to add about this mugging please do so but don't hijack or troll the thread. Thanks.

I am Apple the maintainer and yes, unfortunately the mugging really occurred at Burningtown gap. I was informed through formal channels and verified it many times with other hikers. It happened at night by two assailants with knives. I am a little squeamish to maintain there myself now. I will certainly not work alone.
Recent reports indicate a tree fell in the woods. Unfortunately no one was around to witness it.
Nothing to say about this anymore, this is old news get over it. when i was mugged in northern VA in 06 i didn't think about it, were thru-hikers thats who we are thats what we do. Violence is in human nature get over it RED-DOG
Yea that's it. Crime happens, get over it, eh? Discussing crime trends, dangerous areas, and suspicious activities are a waste of your time I take it?You sir, are an ignoramous of the absolute highest order.Nothing to say about this anymore, this is old news get over it. when i was mugged in northern VA in 06 i didn't think about it, were thru-hikers thats who we are thats what we do.

It baffles me as to how someone night hiking can get mugged. Who in the world is out looking for hikers to jump at night? It's not like the odds are in the assailant's favor of finding someone.

Never understood night hiking anyway. Taking a spill in the dark is a really fast way to end your thru hike. Too each his own and HYOH I guess.

Irish Bastard is Roadside. I seriously doubt this event took place. Just because Roadside, aka Irish Bastard, says he reported this event to proper authorities, doesn't mean there was any truth to it. On another recent thread he was looking for himself on the trail and found out he had gone home. He got this info about himself from Black Bear Hostel--does anyone know where this place is?

Thanks, that must be the re-opened hostel down the road from Kincora. If you go through Irish Bastard's previous postings you'll find an entry in September where he takes the trail name Roadside and at least one other posting where he signs off as Roadside. Interesting character.
