The Newfoundland Connection

Newfoundland's newspaper, the Western Star, carries Dave White's article "Looking forward to the first day of summer; it's just a month away" in its 24 May 2007 issue. White writes about a variety of summer outdoor activities people might pursue in the area, including hiking on the International Appalachian Trail. He says that
"People who record such locations, events and occurrences report that four million outdoor enthusiasts make trekking some portion of the International Appalachian Trail each season part of their annual healthy, outdoors routine.

"Others, breaking it into manageable pieces, reportedly aspire to traverse its entire rugged length, about 5,550 miles from Georgia in the United States up the Eastern Seabord, into the Maritime provinces."
