A Great Washington Post Article on AT Relocations

Featuring an animated map and folks many of us know (Bob Sickley and Hawk Metheny, among others), the article describes in engaging detail a few notable AT relocations culled from thousands since the inception of the trail.

I wish Dan Kunkle had been mentioned in relation to the re-greening and trail relo near Palmerton. But I cannot blame the reporter for that omission; Dan's outsized role in getting the ball rolling on that project is not described on the Lehigh Gap Nature Center website.

This article is a reminder that we are playing a role in the evolution of the Appalachian Trail with every work and maintenance trip, and that such work matters to millions of people.
