Fifty years as a hiker and worker On the A.T. has left me many impressions Which I will make known with emphasis The project as suggested by Benton McKaye is virtually complete and essentially There are hazardous locations that can be changed And this is one of my priorities A scenic trail should not include Obstacle courses that are a menace Instead of a challenge as intended. All in all its a wonderful matchless thing where, as Benton MacKaye envisioned it one can take a lifetime of vacion trips. Thru hiking was inevitable but not intended. Mr. MacKaye never mentioned it.
