In this section you will find copies of actual Appalachian Trail shelter registers from bygone days. Now you can experience one of the main forms of entertainment and news along the trail, just like the hikers before you. Some are just saying "hello" to those behind, others are reporting trail conditions, while others are weaving stories or providing comics for your enjoyment. Also included are vintage reference materials such as data books, and general guides to the Appalachian Trail.
