Your post is just the kind I hate. Picky, picky. SkyLAND Lodge, but it is on the SkyLINE Drive, much more famous name and word, I will just betcha that 90% of Virginians call it the SkyLINE Lodge. For you, SkyLAND, SkyLAND....

For a recent story redacting the crime after discussing the suspect in Va prison...try

To the picky: Yes, I also forgot the two slashes after the http:// in the foregoing.

This story, newer than my info when I wrote the above, also notes that their tent was actually in site of a horse trail and a fire road as well as being some 200 yrds from SkyLAND Lodge.

Could it have stood there for a week without having a ranger approach and ask for their permit, or having some curious dog sniff the corpses and whine?

I say no. I say the bodies were brought there and we were set up with another pretty picture.

I live 10 miles from Skyland, every Virginian I know calls it Skyland. It is the highest lodge in the park.

Where is the evidence they could ever have carried all this equipment, food, etc. They were not marvels of strength or physical stamina

It is not tough to carry gear & 10 days of food, especially when you are only going a few miles, we use a device called a "backpack".

Your post is just the kind I hate. Picky, picky.

You post a pretentious "invitation" for "persons" to use a search engine and then have a hissy fit when people post information they find.

You are a consistently nasty poster who should learn some rudimentary rules of civility.
