We've been taking pics, adding names and dates and posting the pics to our
website..........everyone seems to be thrilled over it. This has been going
on for years. In all those hikers that have stayed with us no one has ever
said don't take my pic. Everyone signs our register and most seem to be
really interested in who's been here before them. So with all this
privacy....hike in secret issues on this forum......we haven't seen any of
it up here. So,  I guess I should fore warn all hikers and guests to the
Skykomish area..........if I see you....I will record your attendance to our
place. If you don't want the world to know you were at our place, in town or
even at the trailhead........you better put a bag over your head. 



I for one have enjoyed looking at the yearly scrapbooks that Paul and Pat
kept at their place, Hikers Oasis?.  I don't know if they are still Trail
Angels as I was out of the loop most of last yeas hiking season and will be
again this year.  It just blew my mind to see a picture of hikers on
Forester Pass with no snow this last year. I frankly did not know there was
a problem of Anonymity on the trail, I just remember one person getting
upset because someone quoted her about something in her journal and posted
it for the list to read..
