This thread is for interesting, informative or amusing log book entries.
Over Christmas I was on a walk that took in two huts. There were some interesting log book entries. Cascade Hut, south of Dead Horse Gap had an entry in November 2014 about Thomas Janeck of the Czech Republic, northbound on the AAWT. He went Bulley Creek, Pilot, Cascade Hut in one day, 47 kilometres. A week later Leo was also northbound AAWT and was on ... day 13. Cascade Hut is 438 kilometres from Walhalla. Compared to Thomas, his was a short day, from Cowombat Flat. In 2013 and 2014 there were entries from people I was walking with 40 years ago. They were older than me then, and probably still are.
There was also a rather plaintive and large entry to the effect that the writer had lost his Mum. How could this be? A later entry clarified matters. The writer was in front and did not stop at the turnoff for the 100 metres to the hut. Mum kept on walking. Oops.
After a rather boring walk to Tin Mine Huts I saw an entry about people who camped on the Cascade Trail. They were nearly trampled by feral horses, who naturally used the trail to get from A to B.
On another trip I saw an entry at Oldfields Hut, 60 kilometres from the Tharwa start of the AAWT. One southbound person said that he or she hoped that there were not too many more climbs.
