These logs come in a variety of shapes and sizes to withstand the elements – some are in battered plastic containers under rocks some are in old ammunition containers some have their own boxes and some are something else altogether.
In many cases in the United States, and around the World, if the mountain is big enough or popular enough, it will likely have a summit register or log. What I’m talking about is the summit register (or log). What I’m talking about is actual talking, man-to-man, mano-a-mano talking. Did you know that it is a known fact that the mountains talk? To be clear, I’m not just discussing the Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Robert Frost, or John Muir type of mountain talking in which the plants, rocks, trees, and other natural features speak to man.
