Well they did rob me when I came thru, I heard other thru hikers stating likewise (Not giving over packages they accepted). Karma is a ......
Just wish they would have been honest.
Of all the AMC sites this is the only one I can't feel bad for.

Sorry if my question sounds stupid but what did they rob? Cash? Don't most people pay for the rooms via credit cards? Did they rob equipment? I read the article and didn't see that detail. Thanks.

I wonder why there is no description of the robbers?

From Blairstown FB page https://www.facebook.com/Blairstown-News-1376376752597756/ (scroll down to post) - "Armed Robbers with shotguns held up The Mohican Outdoor center on Gaisler Road in Blairstown. It was two white males driving a grey Nissan Pickup with Pa plates. According to early reports the suspects wore jeans and black jackets and had masks. They took cash and got into the safe."
$3 for a coke, they robbed me too.
Preventable. Robbers had been there before maybe having inside info like having worked or stayed there.

Not sure one can prevent a robbery of this nature, even if someone who stayed or worked there is involved. When faced with guns, theres not a lot of prevention left in the episode and best to just open the cash drawer and stand back. Its a terrifying thing to have happen, even if no one was hurt in the process.

Now that you have the description, are you going out to look for them?

I guess now that we have a description folks can look for them.
