from a.t. guide:
The Jail House Hostel in Palmerton (pg, 123 Nobo, pg, 102 Sobo) has closed after 40 years of helping hikers. The hostel closed due to problematic hiker behavior. There are no comparable offerings nearby so this is a significant change to the logistics of hiking through this area. Thanks to John Stempa for the heads-up.
same ole same ole.
i didn't stay here; i remember reaching this area right after lunch. i spent the night in my tent so the "significance" of the closure is a bit overstated in my opinion. hostel was famous for being a unique experience. palmerton is close to new jersey; you'd think by then that the troublemakers would be back at home.
