How about the PCT or the CDT one can ask this question about any trail in the world the answer would be the same "Pointless" besides it's just walking remember.

The mountains you can see, are not as challenging as the ones that you cannot.

In other words, the real obstacles are inside of you. A trail, is just a path in the woods.

I wish i had time off in January to hike the FT. After talking to Misti the FT sounded rather nice. http://oceanicwilderness.com/category/florida-trail/

In Florida most mountains are known by the terms "interstate on ramp" or "bridge over sailboat waterway"

In the literary timbre of "Not Without Peril" and "Into Thin Air", the incredible tale of mountaineering, survival, and the bond between men who sweat together for 13 minutes is now in bookstores, "Facing The Beast - The conquest of Florida's high peaks"

I'd invite you to walk south from Birmingham to where the Florida Trail meets the Alabama line but it would be one long highway walk.

Bama can't seem to find the energy to build the trail.

Interesting.
Never even considered connecting the Pinhoti to the FT.
Has that ever been a conversation between the Pinhoti Alliance and the FT Association to bridge the two?
Talks about connecting the PT the AT in the past and present, which I am opposed.

Eastern Continental Trail.
Over 5,500-miles in length, the ECT uses several long paths to take long distance hikers from Key West, FL, to Cape Gaspe', Canada. The path through Alabama takes hikers to their first mountain over 1,000-feet tall, Flagg Mountain, and to the state's highest peak, Cheaha.

While most of the route of the ECT is complete, a 220-mile section in Alabama is currently road walk. AHTS is working with the AHS and Southeast Foot Trail Coalition (SEFTC) to move the ECT off the road in the state and back into the woods.

Great Eastern Trail

In the Conecuh National Forest in southern Alabama, named for the Muskogee phrase “land of cane,” the Conecuh Trail follows a gentle, rolling route through a bottomland forest of beech and oak interspersed with the stands of cane that give the forest its name. The connecting Florida Trail is nearby.

Between the two long existing segments in Alabama, a gap of some 220 miles exists, posing a major challenge to trail planners. However, within this gap trail development is under way at Flagg Mountain, the southernmost 1,000-foot peak in the Appalachian chain. This mountain, the first for northbound hikers, is topped with a magnificent 50-foot stone tower built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935.
Nearly 140 miles of the Alabama Pinhoti Trail traverse a very remote section of the Appalachians to the Georgia border. Sections here are much more rugged than you would expect, with numerous deep gaps, and clifftop vistas. Highlights include 2,407-foot Cheaha Mountain, the state’s highest point. The Alabama Pinhoti also passes through a number of beautiful watersheds where backpackers can pitch their tents on earthen dams. It directly connects the GET hiker to the Georgia Pinhoti Trail.
