Charlie Spring writes in the Joilet (IL) Herald News on 11 March 2007 writes under the headline "Loss of job proved a life-altering road," about having lost his job 3 years ago when the manufacturing plant where he was manager closed up shop. And then about the struggles, financial and personal, that unemployment and subsequent under-employment brought to him and his wife. Not much to do with the Trail, I know.
Except this: he wraps the article in a Trail metaphor.
First sentence: "For a long time I've wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail because I've heard it is a life-changing experience."
Then come his stories about how being out of work radically changed his life.
Then the last sentence: "So in a manner of speaking, I managed to walk the Appalachian Trail."
Some folks don't have to spend half a year walking in order to be changed.
