Then why do we hold Earl Shaffer in such high regard for being the First
Thru Hiker?

Why did we mourn the loss of Ed Garvey who wrote three books on ThruHiking
and the AT?

Why do we enjoy reading books or journals about ThruHiking?

What EXACTLY is it, that Doesn't Matter?
And after that one is answered, tell us What Exactly Does Matter.
