"Sorry, Amber, this discussion was raised by those who hate Wingfoot --
irrationally I think. But anyway, they can't let the man rest in peace. His
new
"forum" has but a half dozen messages a week. He's not a threat to anyone.
Nor
was he ever. He had a vision for the trail that sadly most thru hikers seem
to
have rejected.

As a result the trail will be less wild in the future. But that is simply a
fact, not even a particularly surprising fact. Wildness has to be fought for

Wingfoot, with all his faults, was among the few who fought for wildness.

Some can't let their "victory" be enough. They have to stamp on the
vanquished
grave. Wingfoot, as usual, has produced a fine trail guide for long distance
hikers on the AT. Wise hikers will use it.
