The Appalachian Trail is 2190 miles long, running from Georgia’s Springer Mountain to Maine’s Mount Katahdin. Three million people walk on it annually. I’m not one of them, and I’m not proud of that. After all, the trail is less than ten miles from my house. I’m on it when I cross the bridge over the Lehigh driving from Palmerton to Slatington, and I’ve walked about 100 yards from the road that goes over the Blue Mountain at Little Gap. I should make that “climbed” about 100 yards–the Trail there is among the roughest parts along the whole route. Nonetheless, I am ashamed to say that I have not taken advantage of this world class trail.
Maybe this fall I could do at least a mile or two.
