Want to know what the average hiker/backpacker can do to help educate the public about the value of

special places?  Upon the arson of the 1800's era Pinky Burns cabin on the Pinhoti Trail near Dugger Mountain by three local teens, the Forest Service's own suggestion is to donate to a fund that they,

Calhoun County, and Jacksonville State University have going to erect an informational kiosk at the trailhead to inform hikers/visitors and locals of the history of the Burns cabin and land.  In this way, the cabin's loss will be memorialized with pictures, a history, and perhaps "ignite" a renewed respect for these treasured links to our past.  If you'd like to help, you can send a donation to:

Pinky Burns Trailhead Fund
