[at-l] AT Trail System

[Jack.Bulkley@xxxxxxx (Jack Bulkley)]

The Mountain-to-Sea Trail, MST, when finished would give a connection, albe=
it a long one, for other communities, the largest being Winston-Salem, Gree=
nsboro, Durham and Raleigh. So I could hike my whole hike by hiking all of =
it. Lets see, 30 miles from my house to the MST, a few hundred to the AT, s=
outh to Springer, north to Katahdin, south to MST, MST to just north of Ral=
eigh and the last 30 miles home should be easy by then.

Good fitting footwear is more than worth its weight.

Let's not forget the Mountains to Sea Trail as a connector.  Although I don=
't
have a map handy, it wouldn't be all that difficult to bail at Clingman's
Dome and follow the MST along the Blue Ridge and pick up the trail again
somewhere near Damacus.

Afterall, the original plan was to connect the highest peak in the east in =
Mt
Mitchell with Mt Washington and the MST does go over Mitchell.
