I think I’ll donate (soon anyway). I have hiked up this trail a few times for work (veg management in the park), treating the oriental bittersweet along the trail there, and every day included a trip up to the top of the fire tower! Once, we went up to the top of the tower to eat lunch, when a storm moved in (I don’t think there was lightning but it got crazy windy and was a heavy downpour; certainly could have used some repairs to keep the rain off).

That was a bit scary, to say the least! Thanks for what you are doing!

Okay, I’m raising the stakes. A whole NICKEL for every mile, $108.90. The cause is worth it and you’re a great inspiration to us all! I hope to join you in northern VA for a few days.

Whipp it!

Peter, Just like Earl Schaffer, you too will be remembered one day for what you have done, esp to saving Fire Towers. Glad we can call you our friend. Norm & Amy Onward & Upward

Last fall, my brother and I took our father camping as he had done for us while we were growing up. Without much of a plan, we decided to go for a hike. Dad wanted to see the dam and wanted to hike a section of the AT, just to say he had done it. So we drove to the dam, hiked across, and started the climb into the park towards “shuckstack” on the map, with no clue what that meant.

Dad’s knees couldn’t make it very far up the mountain, but my brother and I continued the climb. What an amazing spot. We debated whether to climb the side trail to “shuckstack,” or at least I did. Luckily, we made the right decision. What an amazing reward for a hard climb – the most beautiful vista I have ever seen. I hope to return one day if I ever do a thru-hike. It was simply breathtaking.

You’ve got my donation and support for this project.
