"so mr.weary when you stated that you think the companion and the other guide books should take out our camps,and you would like to see us go out of buisness because you think we cut an illegal trail .get your stories straight first."
Hmmm. I certainly remember being critical of your camps. Mostly because of the many reports by MATC maintainers and volunteers over many months about them taking down illegal signs and having those signs going back up almost immediately. The Maine Appalachian Trail Club, except for one parttime coordinator, is a totally volunteer organization. I've worked as a volunteer with them for well over three decades. I have seen no reason to doubt the truth of their reports.
However, I don't remember saying that the companion and other guide books should take out your camps. I don't believe in censorship of any kind. Did i really say a trail guide shouldn't report the fact that you exist? If I did, I was wrong. I might of said you cut an illegal trail, though I don't remember those precise words. I'm well aware that the road to the landing has been there for many decades. I think it is the reconstruction of the road that drew criticsm from volunteers seeking to enforce the rules governing federal AT lands against the intrusion of commercial enterprises.

If people spent less time being offended and more time actually living, we'd all be a whole lot happier!
Camp Mom?? I'm guessing Linda?? Say hello to Bill, Ben and Pooh Bear for me.
I happened on this post by chance. I haven't been on White Blaze too much lately, but I'm glad I did tonight. There have been other threads about White House Landing....and when I've seen them, I always had to post to them to say that White House Landing is my very favorite stop on ALL of the Appalachian Trail!!
It's an honor to call you and your family friends.
Thanks for everything you do for us hikers.
Oh yeah, I talked to Circuit Rider and Sherlock tonight before I logged on here. I know they would want me to say hello.

Appalachian Trail is 35.9% complete.

I enjoyed White House Landing. Even if I didn't. MATC is wrong.

As a SOBO thru hiker, White House Landing was the first trail service / lodging that I came to. I enjoyed my stay, and the hospitality shown me, very much.
As for rules, regulations, access, signage, side trail maintenance, etc., it seems that MATC construes and enforces the regulations far more strictly than some of the other maintaining clubs further south with respect to access for similar hiker services near the trail. That is MATC's perogative and I have no complaints, as access to White House Landing was clearly described in my Trail Guide.
