       *** Which is exactly what I suspected. The lesson being that NPS 
strength and backing comes at the cost of importing larger national park concerns 
and methods into the Trail.  

        I don't think it's appropriate to use an MATC issue as an excuse to 
go after Weary or try to diminish his reputation. It's obvious this is being 
overblown by certain members in order to get back for AT philosophy beliefs 
Weary may have expressed. With land acquisitions costing up to 4 million, the 6 
thousand spent on the ferry contract is relative peanuts in the scope of things.

       I can imagine what would have happened if a "Rat Pack" got to the row 
boats left at the Kennebec on a good day...    ;-)
