For Nick and Helene
And Sam and Marion,
who gave us life
And for Carlton Greenbaum,
who gave us the green world to live it in.
Acknowledgments
A book like this cannot be written without the help of dozens of naturalists, park staffers, tourism directors, volunteer trail workers, and friends too numerous to mention. Although our names are on the cover, this is really their book.
We would like to single out Lela Shaw, backcountry specialist at J & H Lanmark Store, in Lexington, Kentucky, for a special "attaboy." Her advice on places to hike and equipment to use has always been invaluable. Without her help, this book would be less than it is.
The good folks at Rollatape Measuring Systems, in Spokane, Washington, assured accurate trail distances by providing solid advice about measuring trails and a precision wheel to measure them with.
