[at-l] Long Trip report Gaspe end of IAT

[janl2@mindspring.com (Jan Leitschuh)]

Enjoyed your trip report Ridge Runner! Thank you for taking the time. 
It is good to see the trip reports trickling in.

I thought strongly about doing the IAT this summer, but it was easier
logistically and shorter timewise to do the Long Trail for my first long
distance hike. 
I'd have to flip a coin between hiking the IAT and canoeing the Bonaventure
River in the Gaspe though!
One day I will head north of the border. There's some pretty country up
there.
