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.
