Perhaps you could explain then, that when someone recently took the time to
post MacKaye's entire article that was the birth of the AT, and included a
commentary, that NO-ONE from that group of people who claim to be staunch
trail advocates was the least bit interested in the topic?  I did notice
that those same people continued to stomp out the 'campfire'.  It makes me
wonder what's driving that bus...
