Anna - 

OK, as I read you, you're saying you wouldn't like the trail lengthened 
because it makes it hard to thru hike, but you wouldn't hold this up as a 
reason to argue against lengthening the trail.

I'm willing to let this thread die a natural death if you are! :)

FWIW, nature is finally giving us a good, honest snow storm out here in 
the Four Corners area! It's spirit-lifting to watch.

Peace & May You Never Stumble on the Roots,

Jim
