Noteable Entries from Trail Shelter Registers

The main source of news and information, as well as entertainment, can be found at the trailside shelters. A mere notebook left by a local, a hiker, or trail maintainer becomes one of the things that makes life interesting on the trail. Just about everyone reads them, in fact, hikers may even go out of their way to go to a shelter for a quick read. Along with the good logistical information it provides about water sources, places to stay, etc., they are a good way to keep in contact with friends. Some people have a tendency to stretch the truth a bit as they leave short stories or comics for the entertainment of others. If you would like to submit an entry from a shelter register that made you laugh, cry, or reflect on something you would like to share, send an email with the information to: info@atmuseum.org
