[at-l] A Different Ethical Dilemma...

[daveh at psknet.com (David Hicks)]

That's the main reason that over the years I have spent lots of time hiking 
and working on trails other than the AT -- maybe as much or more than the AT 
itself.

I have as much fondness for (and pride in) the Tuscorora and the Massanutten 
trails  (trail work) as I have for the AT, it self.  And there are other many 
of this sort which I suspect few on this list know or have hiked --  Big 
Schloss, Tibbit Knob, Stony Creek,  Sugar Knob, Mail Path, Chimney Rocks, 
Chestnut, War Spur, Wilbur Ridge, Three Peaks, Pine Mountain, etc, etc. 
Although I've never work on the trail there, Dolly Sods is my all time 
favorite place to hike, on the east coast.

Every hike doesn't have to be on the AT.  In fact, we determined long ago
that the AT is so overused that it doesn't need the impact of our boots
added to that of the other 5 or 6 million people who hike it every year.  So
for the last 13 years, we've been hiking trails that some of you have never
even heard about.  Many of them are a lot closer than any part of the AT.
Saves time, money, gas - and wear and tear on the AT.
