Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 3651943, member: 1673"] I do not remember the start and end points ((24 years ago), but I do know that it was in southern Pennsylvania and included the Cumberland Valley section, which at the time involved a 12 mile road walk (which I jogged). I have two witnesses, one of whom broke the record six months later (The stinker! Just kidding, he’s a good friend). Your point about the elevation changes on the AT is spot on. Out west you might climb 10,000 feet (eg, Mt. San Jacinto), but spread out over 30 miles. Out here you could go up 3,000 feet in less than 3 miles on the steepest climbs. There are some stretches on the AT that have mild elevation changes, like southern Pennsylvania. [/QUOTE]
