: I hate NO TRESPASSING signs as much as everyone else here but I understand where Gerald is coming from! Keep in mind, some idiot published the directions to Beveridge in a major magazine (was it Outdoor mag?) and then someone stole the old piano from the site (with a helicopter?). Gerald has never met us and only knows about the random idiots that vandalize historic sites.
: So, since Gerald is a bit onery about us visiting, lets at least let him know when we're going and how many people we'll have and work with him on this! We all want to go and have a good time, right?
: I emailed Gerald today and gave him the basic time we're interested in going and about how many people we think might hike. And I would think, as long as we're open with him about it all he should be cool with it.

Cat, I think ya did good. Mr. T says a vandal learned about Beveridge from this site, but I still maintain that was an isolated case. And I doubt if your basic vandal has access to a helicopter to steal a piano. Not that it didn't happen, but whoever took that piano was a "longrider". That took some planning and $$$, not to mention brass.
