" . . . the museum will house trail photos, archives and artifacts, but also a "living history" exhibit in the form of a hikers' lounge where thru-hikers can share stories about their travels with visitors."

Stinky? Isn't there a government funded bathhouse there with free hot showers, free soap, free warm towels, free plush bathrobes, and free laundry service available?

Hahaha! Actually there really are showers available there. Both the non-government kind (Ironmasters Hostel) and the government kind (campground).

No plush bathrobes, tho' -- I stole those years ago.
