International A.T. Talk Given

"Paul Wylezol, chair of the International Appalachian Trail Newfoundland and Labrador, and Arne Helgeland, chair of the Bay of Islands section, spoke to members of the Corner Brook Rotary Club" on 23 October. All that according to the article titled "Rotarians get a visual update on Appalachian trail work" by Cory Hurley in the 24 October 2008 issue of the Western Star newspaper out of Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador.

New Trail Sections in Canada

The Western Star, a newspaper from Corner Brook - Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, has a Cory Hurley article titled "Appalachian trail section will be built through Bay of Islands area this year" in its 22 January 2008 issue. That would be the International Appalachian Trail. And, as the article explains, "The International Appalachian Trail is a network of trails extending from Georgia in the southern United States to the tip of the Northern Peninsula."

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."

International A.T. Section Work Approved

Cory Hurley writes in the 24 May 2007 issue of 'The Western Star' under the headline "High and mighty; Appalachian Trail extension will meander around spectacular Lewis Hills" just what it says.

The relevant lines are:

"The committee responsible for the Lewis Hills section of the international trail network recently met to finalize plans for the $64,000 project to be completed by September."

This stretch of the International Appalachian Trail is in western Newfoundland.
