Besides, not to talk down on the AT, I've been out there, I know what an ass whoop'n it is; but still, doing the AT is way cush compared to doing long distance adventures elsewhere thanks to all the angles, magic, and infrastructure, like right there. Please try not to hate me too much for this, but it's a bunny slope badge. Hike your own hike!
[seriously, try not to hate me for that. I assure you, I know what a treasure it is, and I fully respect it. I yearn to carry the same honor! I in no way attempt to diminish the achievement. You can believe anyone who rightfully bears it (and I'll go with my earlier 'vote' of at least 2k miles on whiteblazes, leaving one-whatever miles open for some interpretation as my qualification on that) holds my deepest respects. Wasn't an attack. Just in case, for defense, might not be too off.]
