People like you get under my skin.

What did I skip?

Now, for your information, some of the routes I found, due to whatever conditions, including weather, road walks etc...I talked to locals, including Rangers, park service, trail volunteers, etc. and now some of the 'blue blazes' which dont exist on this incomplete trail, are now in use as routes for furture hikers of the ADT.

I found bike paths that run the same routes as some of the road walks, found trails where there were road walks and I walked them.

These routes, along with the change in ST Louis have a lot to do with my walk and work.

Know your facts before you call people out.
