[at-l] New AT speed record... today?!

[carol1944 at brmemc.net (Carol Donaldson)]

Because it's there.  Which is why I want to go over the mountain.

Why does it matter?  It doesn't, so why was the 'feat/feet' heralded in the first place?

We all want our fifteen minutes of fame and to be able to say we 'met' or 'know' someone who got their fifteen minutes of fame???

There's Arthur Blissett who's lugging a cross across America and the World, too, isn't he?

I dunno.  I'm up too late and I'm tired.

Wasn't there someone who wanted to be the slowest hiker on the AT?  What happened to that feat of accomplishment?

  Trail Dog isn't the only one doing this.  In a couple days David Horton will be setting a new record for the PCT.  

  There's a couple kids running across America for the heck of it.  Another, oldtimer running across America in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

  They're all getting help one way or another through goodies from home, trail angels, kindness of strangers.

  Does it really matter how fast or slow one's able to go?
