Rhino: Hiking News

1. First the Oh Crap! News. They extended the Appalachian Trail all the way to Alabama connecting it with the famous Pinhoti National Recreation Trail.
Now we have to go to Alabama too.

2. Now the OMG News. UltraRunner Karl "Speedgoat" Meltzer is going to try and break the Speed record for the AT. His Goal 47 days 13 hours and 31 minutes. He will be traveling light with a support crew and sleeping in a bed every night...but I got to tip my hat. Thats gonna be rough. The cool thing is he will be wearing a GPS so we can track his progress on his web site.

3. Finally what will we do when we complete the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide. Why the next big fad will be the North Country National Scenic Trail (NCT) This behemoth of a cross country trail will stretch all the way from New York to North Dakota...

Good quote

Too often I would hear men boast of the miles covered that day, rarely of what they had seen. -Louis L'Amour, novelist (1908-1988)
