So, ive come to see enough on this trail hiking only on foot and being stoped at certain places and told to do certain things that I’d have to say never to donate to the trail. The people taking care of the trail are all volunteers more or less. Theirs permit fees for section hikers that camp in camp sites and theirs plenty of stranger things going on. But one thing I can be sure of is is that, certain groups see great gains and gifts from the donations to the trail. They all look so appropriate. But they never spend the money the real hikers do. They come to the trail every year and get handed things constantly to look appropriate mean while if your actualy hiking the trail, short of 20 grand you get bumy,you get dirty, you get gross. Especially as you go further north. Ppl can’t tell if your homeless or not. He’ll, I can’t tell.
They tell certain groups and ppl to register and they follow certain ppl to certain places and live for free for the summer. 4 - 5 months. They use that as an exscuse, even tho they watch like hawks and take ids. Then they complain about the shape of the real hikers when their car camping. They also chase the real threw hikers away from even being registered. They make sure they don’t get to certain things ment to get us threw the in betweens and are shunned by plenty of what’s called trail angels. As well as steered away frkm special trail " hosted " events. Not all but , enough ppl, and angels. Things are set up to be of seeming appropriation. I can go on way more in depth on who what how why etc .
But im not gonna, you wanna really help the trail , find the bumiest looking guy you can find near it. Hand him some cash a machete and a garbage bag. Tell him to cover the next 5 miles. If he’s dirty let the dude shower or take some laundry for him while he does it. Bring him some meat !!! Or something . Cause if their dressed right , chances are their not not hear for somwthing else. That’s what I understand , take it or leave it.
If you guys wanna support the already pampered babysitting parking lot tour, you can keep donating. Otherwise, just find us and hand it to us, they need a new hang out, maybe you can reserve a cotillion for them for the summer, cause you might as well.
But , on the other hand I urge discretion.
Their are plenty who aren’t in the pampered groups (look dirty) who pick pocket, steal, and do other messed up things and plenty of them who are, plenty. Tho i have seen some look the part of thru hiker then cause a problem. Then, for some reason knwo afterwards leaving the trail to i assume someone near the areas around the house or where ever for a few days to a week, avoiding the trail. Vegas rules. But I talk to almost no one. Jsyk
I can’t really say anyone will do anything they say they will, but, their are way better ways to donate to the trail, And better ways to handle certain situations. At the understanding of my own grandure , it wouldn’t be a hard thing for me to catch.
Theirs way more I wanna say that I won’t, vegas rules. The trails a place to explore , enjoy nature, and more or less just be, but we all make out plans , we all have budgets and as such we should all walk it similarly, throwing a tantrum is not what this is, the mission we set on as threw hikers just walking along the trail is made easy for some and near imposible for others.
If your looking you won’t find it but if you just so happen to stumble on to it you see so much more. This trail called my name and so I’m here. And , I don’t wanna just leave it as I found it. Theirs so much lost potential just threw the way things are handled.
They , love me for that shyt.
