Graffiti Slogan Ideas: Thanks!
our readers respond to last issue's call for catch phrases
to discourage paint and carving on the appalachian trail.
JOSEPH MACARETH
from the
editor
Kurt rheinheimer
The general sentiment from our readers is that it's not nice to ruin Mother Nature,
and to keep messages to a few signs and natural spaces.
our thanks to all who responded
to last issue's From the Editor ("How
to Stop Graffiti on the Trail?") and to
our request for possible catch
phrases to perhaps stick in people's

From Hans Brings, Maryland:

From Larry Copp, Chucky,
Tennessee:
Leave Only Memories!

From Mike Chism:

Cavemen wrote on rocks! Do you
also drag your chick by the hair?
From Elaine Cook, Newport,
Virginia:
Panting allowed - Painting is Not.
Would you want Mother Nature to
leave a mark on your house?
Paint your own walls, not ours.
Graffiti ruins the view.
Invisible paint allowed.
It's not nice to ruin Mother Nature.
Don't carve anything you don't want
carved on you.
Suggestion: Erect flat rocks or designate areas along the trail as community bulletin boards?
From Gina Kristjanson, Salem,
Virginia:
Project PURE:
Preserve: U R Everybody.
I think by inviting all to the preservation of our landscapes, this message
