Great Eastern Trail and the Appalachian Trail

The Smoky Mountain Sentinel from Hayesville (Clay County), NC has a 4 July 2007 article titled "Sentinel readers: you're the bull's-eye for a great trail idea" and written by George Owen.

The idea of which the headline speaks is the Southeastern Foot Trails Coalition (SEFTC). The point of the coalition is the linking together of 3,500 miles of existing trails now somewhat centered on this portion of southwestern North Carolina and northern Georgia.

The next grand idea is the creation of a Great Eastern Trail, parallel to and west of the Appalachian Trail.

With all these trails, there's no reason ever to stop hiking.
