Re: Alicia's article on Blazing the AT

Thanks a lot, Bill. I appreciate the kind comments.

Following my great-uncle's scouting route was a unique opportunity to hike his same original section of trail and have that historical perspective. I'm really glad I went and did it this past summer. It's something I've been interested in for years.

Originally I thought of it as a simple hike from point A to point B. But like many an interesting hike or project, it left me with more unanswered than answered questions. And like all good hikes and projects, it challenged a lot of my expectations and taught me a lot in the process (cliche but true).
