Sounds like a positive thing, no mention of the (largely unpopular) “AT2AL” movement and potentially could move the trail closer to National Scenic Trail designation.
Interesting comment at the end, potentially more shelters. Not sure that’s warranted really, there are plenty already and I thought we now know that shelters cause more overall impact than dispersed camping.
Blankenship said the master plan “has a good roadmap of the things that need to be done in the Pinhoti.” He said that includes “More shelters, better signage, getting some of the roadwalk out of the Pinhoti, get it off the road and into the woods in a couple of places where it’s on the road.”
