I'm all for more trails.  BUT....I don't feel that it should have the name
"Appalachian Trail" anywhere in it's name.  This is just one more instance of
a group trying to capitalize on the name to increase funding, while detracting
from the original, historic, Appalachian Trail.  I mean...Geez....first the
Canadians try to take it over with the "International Appalachian Trail", and
now all you folks from Nevada want to move it west!  Just what would WFsay? ;)

Good Hiking,
Jim
