Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
If anyone has something to add about this mugging please do so but don't hijack or troll the thread. Thanks.

I am Apple the maintainer and yes, unfortunately the mugging really occurred at Burningtown gap. I was informed through formal channels and verified it many times with other hikers. It happened at night by two assailants with knives. I am a little squeamish to maintain there myself now. I will certainly not work alone.
Nothing to say about this anymore, this is old news get over it. when i was mugged in northern VA in 06 i didn't think about it, were thru-hikers thats who we are thats what we do. Violence is in human nature get over it RED-DOG
It baffles me as to how someone night hiking can get mugged. Who in the world is out looking for hikers to jump at night? It's not like the odds are in the assailant's favor of finding someone.
The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.
You never know which one is talking.
Never understood night hiking anyway. Taking a spill in the dark is a really fast way to end your thru hike. Too each his own and HYOH I guess.

Irish Bastard is Roadside. I seriously doubt this event took place. Just because Roadside, aka Irish Bastard, says he reported this event to proper authorities, doesn't mean there was any truth to it. On another recent thread he was looking for himself on the trail and found out he had gone home. He got this info about himself from Black Bear Hostel--does anyone know where this place is?
Thanks, that must be the re-opened hostel down the road from Kincora. If you go through Irish Bastard's previous postings you'll find an entry in September where he takes the trail name Roadside and at least one other posting where he signs off as Roadside. Interesting character.
