At the entrance to the Monument is a large sized sign giving the poem -TKEES" in full: Also near the entrance is one of the most remarkable signs in the United States—"Gypsies Are Welcome to Camp Here". Joyce Kilmer in one of his letters to his mother, in commenting on the unfriendly treatment accorded to gj'psies generally, said that if ever he owned a piece of woodland he would erect a sign that gypsies would be welconu'. In his short life he was . never able to acccmiidish this wish, but Hon. (liiinrd Pinchot, then Commissioner of Forestry, on hear- ing of it directed that the sign be placed al the en- trance of the Joyce Kilmer :\Ionument and Park. The climb up the Joyce Kihner Trail has been the scene of several pilgrimages by the Tennsylvania Al- pine Club and other noted outdoor organiznticms. The parents of the poet are much interested in this Monument, and visitors are reipiested to drop a line to Mrs. Annie K. Kilmer, New Brunswick, New .lersey, his mother, exi)ressing their interest in the unigue sylvan memorials erected in his honor. ^ One mile west of the uKUiumeut is located Hairy John's Park where there are ample parking accommo- ,lnti«ms for automobiles, and where refreshments can be purchased. It is a popuhir resort for mot(,ris1s and hikers, and on clear Sundays in summer s general- ly thronged with people, many of tluMU coming great distances.
