So today I wanted to share a couple of my favorite thoughts that made the trail possible.
“They need acres not medicine.” – Benton MacKaye, An Appalachian Trail: A Project in Regional Planning
“The camp community is a sanctuary and a refuge from the scramble of every-day worldly commercial life. It is in essence a retreat from profit. Cooperation replaces antagonism, trust replaces suspicion, emulation replaces competition. An Appalachian trail, with its camps, communities, and spheres of influence along the skyline, should, with reasonably good management, accomplish these achievements.” – Benton MacKaye, An Appalachian Trail: A Project in Regional Planning
To read more from Benton MacKaye’s proposal to create the Appalachian Trail, visit the Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s website.
