This hike, What's going on?
I don't know if I am more surprised or more disappointed.
What confuses me is why, well I am assuming that the ONLY way to access the start of the route you must trespass some private land.
I read on trip report on this hike and just about the whole thing was about how to avoid guards and dogs and where to hide etc. Has anyone ever tried getting permission from the people who own this land? Is there an alternate (legal) way to access the trailhead?
Or is this part of the thrill? Doing something wrong. Some kinda macho thing?
Making some statement? What is it?
I am sure each person weather they have hiked it or not has an opinion on this.
I am interested in each.
But I am particularly interested in the people who have done it and who currently have made future plans to do it again.
You can call me anything you want, I don't care, some moral freak or what ever, I've heard it all and it won't bother me. What I am interested in why?
Why you personally do this? What is your reason?
Me? Just to be fair I guess if you haven't guessed by now I am completely against making plans to go into any closed areas. My reason? Because it's closed. period. It doesn't matter what's on the other side or what's in there. I have talked about similar subjects and I mostly see opposition to my way of thinking. Is there anyone out there who agrees with me? Sign says keep out, so keep out because the sign says keep out!
You could put a billion dollars in there and I would not enter to get it. (especially if I knew 100% that I could get away with it) So forget about me.
What goes through your mind when you take that first step past that sign?
(I already know you think Hal so no need to comment. )
Thanks
When I saw Cy mention others plans this really bugged me.
