Actually, trailbuilding is a cool subject!  Its also something that you can 
do - and point to for the rest of your life.  Backbreaking or not, its 
certainly worth it.

However, I've always wondered what people think when the trail is rerouted 
around *their* part of the trail.  Can you envision taking your kids on a 
hike and right at the point you want to show them the part that you helped 
build, its rerouted!!!

That went through my mind last winter when I hiked up the reroute at Blood 
Mtn in Georgia.  That was a *lot* of trail that literally got cut out and 
covered up.
