Did y'all read the letter from Earl Shaffer in the new ATN?  He was talking
about how "the rocks, roots, mud holes, and stream wadings now prevalent
are a disgrace" in Maine, and how he'll "never hike there again".  How did
this strike y'all?  My thoughts were that the rocks and roots above ground
are the result of so many happy hikers compressing the dirt around them. 
He goes on and on about how the route had been laid out and shelters built
years ago, but where are they now?  Has the trail in Maine been moved a lot
over the years?  Does anyone know what he's talking about?  Leslie
