Re: Other National Park Forums
This site is not necessarily a "national parks" web site, but a site of Appalachian trail enthusiasts.

Re: Fishing IR
I think the possibility of having the taxi reserved and waiting to go when you arrive, should most likely be directed to those that run the service. Try and contact them? You're right about the "more work", and "time to fish?". My thoughts are that, it may be a lot of paddling an...
