Hey Red,

Don't forget to metion that it also touched on at least one 
vocacy/conservation issues with stated the article that stated "Appalachian 
Trail doesn't stand for Advertising Trail" and had the photo of the sign 
that used to announce the WHite House Landing.

If you use your imagination one might find some trolling in the article that 
pictured the Galehead Hut and noted that in 1932 users paid $.75 for lodging 
and $1.00 for supper, but now pay up to $69 per night with 2 Meals.  And 
that it was handicap accessible

The marshmellow poll and the shot of Franconia Ridge were safe territory 
though.  Well, the shot of the Ridge, anyway.  I hope to God no one takes 
the Marshmellow poll on as being Voodoo Science.

Anyway,  Definitely worth atleast browse in the bookstore for those 
non-subsribers who believe in recycling, or for those from the party who 
believe everything should be free.
