[at-l] Weakening conservation in National Parks...

[jplynch at crosslink.net (J. Lynch)]

The AT passes through at least two NPs, Shenandoah and Great Smokies.  
(Are there others, maybe smaller and less well known?  How about Harpers 
Ferry?).  The AT is administered by the National Park Service, but is 
not itself a NP; it is a National Scenic Trail.
