of many, road crossing referring to the databook...

### Kudos, Sly, on the determination to hike the AT, the PCT,
and then the CDT, but that same determination is not serving you
well on this topic. I hope you don't get jail time for
strangling the poor yutz morally charged with hauling your
compound-leg-fractured butt out of the woods when they pick a
route that takes 5.5 rugged hours, and you find out at the
bottom that there was a smooth route -- 3.0 hours to boot -- in
the other direction. 2.5 hours without morphine can be a
lifetime.
