That’s what I found myself thinking a couple of summers ago, somewhere on the Carter Dome Trail.  I was hiking back (eventually) to my car after my first-ever two nights of serving as the Carter Notch Hut Volunteer Naturalist. I had just encountered a couple of lightly-equipped hikers who, noting my somewhat official volunteer labelling, asked questions for five minutes including “Is the top a long way from here?”  They took a photo of my paper map and pushed onward.  I enjoyed the satisfaction of helping someone’s day in the mountains go a bit more smoothly.
