[pct-l] elevation gain/loss on AT

[KBerger466@aol.com]

Someone asked about elevation gain/loss on AT: The AT has 470,000 feet of it. 
(According to ATC -- I called them to get this stat for an article I once 
wrote.) The PCT is 500 miles longer; if it indeed has 300,000 -- well, that 
tells the tale doesn't it? Having hiked both, those numbers  don't surprise 
me.
