[at-l] Extending the AT

[Felix <AThiker@smithville.net>]

Marathons are 26 miles, 385 yards long. A square acre is 208.8 feet by 
208.8 feet. 12 inches in a foot. None of these things make sense, but 
thats the way they are. And should be. The AT runs from Springer to 
Katahdin. Thats the way it is, and should be. You often times hear of the 
bittersweetness a thru-hiker experiences when approaching his terminus. 
The goal is nearly reached :-) but the trip is nearly over :-(  Extending 
the Trail would make it a little harder to see that carrot out there. In 
my ten years of AT hiking, I have never heard anyone, at anytime, 
complain that the AT is TOO SHORT.
