It's bright and early and I haven't seen the Wall Street Journal yet but... apparently the AT is enjoying growing popularity from more than absent governors.
"Finally, the Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125348373308426061.html#mod=todays_us_nonsub_pag e_one) reports that more unemployed Americans are hiking the Appalachian Trail. While usually about 1,000 hikers leave Georgia each spring in hopes of completing the entire trail at once, This year, trail monitors say, close to 1,400 hikers were in the first wave, and many more followed. The paper says, “Depending on one's level of optimism, an Appalachian Trail through-hiker is either a symbol of a jobless recovery or of a still-deepening recession.” "
