Words of Wisdom From an AT Logbook
Description:
This image shows a page from the shelter log at Bearfence Mountain Shelter in the central section of Shenandoah National Park (Virginia). As an example of the sort of entry one finds in these logs it is more poetic and artistic than most. More typically, hikers leave a quick note to say there were there, to remark on the weather or the condition of the trail, to leave a shout out to friends ahead or behind them, or to complain about this or that annoyance. However, many hikers are moved to draw, to philosophize, or to wax poetic about nature, their place in the universe, or the value of friends and family, many of whom they miss very much.
