I predict that this thread is going to get ugly. :(
My mind thought we were going to have thread about Brown Blazing.

I first thought it would be a thread about illegal roadside trash dumps.
Either one would be ugly, and stinky.

I figured you for a guy that poos directly on the trail! I think I have seen your work!

Where do you think that soft and cushy trail tread came from?

This whole thread is taking a Dump!
The ATC Office in Harpers Ferry. What a pigpen. I wonder when that place was cleaned last?
In most cases its not the hostel thats the problem but the inhabitants! Entitled hikes that steal toilet paper from the restrooms and food and drinks from honor system areas. Also stayed at one where fellow hikers were drunk and screaming all night until they again woke me up in the middle of the night--throwing up and dry heaving outside the room. These types have total disreguard for the owners property and others interest.
This said---yes I realize there are 100 hikers that are total class for everyone one of these entitled hiker types.

The thread title is catchy but I still think the How do you coat your balls with petroleum jelly has it beat.

How do you coat your balls with jelly?
With a spork of course.

When I stayed the night at Jim Murray's "secret shelter" (which is certainly not a dump), I had a moment of catharsis that practically filled his outhouse. That's my biggest dump on the trail to date.
My biggest is about 300' north of Thomas Knob Shelter. Too much food in Damascus.

A couple years ago I hiked NY and NJ with my buddy during which a mild case of trail trail trots left him without control of his bowels. To this day, my favorite trail quote is from when I walked around a corner and found him just off trail with his pants around his ankles wiping furiously. When he saw me the first thing he said was "Dave, I think I left a trace!"

I usually just go right on the trail and then cover it with sunflower seed shells.

Hiker Trash Confessions (http://www.facebook.com/HikerTrashConfessions?hc_location=timeline)
May 19
After taking a crap on the CDT I smeared it all over a rock, it was the weirdest thing, and took on a look...so I called upon my artistic side, when I finished it looked just like "Little Richard"....I signed it and split. So now every time I go to take a crap, I tell my buddy "I'm going to take a "Little Richard" he laughs and say's "ok". Should I tell him I'm a duodenum bandit painter

What are the worst hostels/hotels on the trail?
The Doyle comes to mind. Rusty's too
Lot's of negative comments about the Autumn Inn in Bennington, VT.
Enjoying this thread on the porch with my morning coffee. And as coffee is prone to do to me, im off for a "little richard" break.

The Doyle is certainly a dump, but it's a quaint kind of dump that thru-hikers appreciate.

It seems the Doyle make quite a lot of the best and worst lists. That's quite an accomplishment.
Was at the Doyle yesterday and it was a dump...... A nice dump.

So do thru hikers...should be a good fit.

Fire rings are another choice spot.

shelter roof, so it's outta every body's way...just don't stand underneath the drip edge on a rainy day.

Cats would make better train companions.
My vote goes to some of the shelters, some of those things are complete DUMPS.

My vote for the worst shelter/dump goes to the William Brien shelter in NY. I only stopped there for a lunch break but you couldn't pay me to sleep in that thing.
