It has erupted a few times in the last few years.
I just received this notice since I live near the trail:
“The government shutdown has limited access and use of Appalachian Trail by hikers and volunteers. “
Maybe the blazes and switchbacks have been turned off.
Suddenly, I recognize the need for the government to fund a Mt. St. Helen's webcam. Damned Republicans!
A lack of government funding closes a path through the woods. That's just ridiculous.
