View Full Version : Chat with an A.T. Ridgerunner LIVE Online Today at 1pm EST
Hey everyone, just wanted to share this piece of information with you. This free event is today at 1pm.
-----
On July 22, at 1 p.m., ridgerunners from the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club will speak to visitors at the Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s Visitor Center located in Harpers Ferry, WV, about the role they play in maintaining the Appalachian Trail.
The ridgerunners will explain their role in protecting the A.T. as well as inform visitors on what they can do to help in the preservation of the Trail. They will be sharing such topics as using already impacted campsites, carrying gas stoves as opposed to making fires, and keeping hiking groups to a reasonable number.
In addition, they will also highlight some of the best area hikes as well as provide tips on general safety while on the A.T., including effective food storage in bear country or various campfire policies.

Hmmm... a few weeks ago on Facebook the ATC announced another ridge runner would be at the ATC in Harpers Ferry and I suggested streaming live. Wonder if they got the idea from me? :-?

The ridge runner taped up his windows and left his name and phone number for us to call. Above and beyond the call of duty and very much appreciated!July 11 at 2:07pm · Like · 5 people (http://www.facebook.com/browse/?type=likes&id=10150226014312396)

I've had the good fortune of meeting them in their natural habitat along the trail and have always found them to be personable, knowledable and incredibly dedicated.July 11 at 3:52pm · Like
