Just got off the phone with 3 different National Park Rangers. Glad to say that all of them told me OC is now allowed on the A.T. I just wanted to verify that info with a few OC'ers out there-particulary Peter Nap. They said even though most of the trail is located in National Forest land, the foot trail itself is NPS land. Therefore OCing is now okay, this is great if this is true. Can someone out there please confirm this info...??
