always get mixed up whether it's 87

or... 287 miles.

I get kind of irked when I listen to people from other parts of the trail talking about their sections.

And, you know, the people in Georgia have no...

And this will come back eventually to the questions that you asked.

The people in Georgia have no issue whatsoever in recruiting... volunteers because they draw from the Atlanta metro area, Virginia.

Can Janice, could you please start and describe Baxter State Park and what it is and how it differs from most state parks that our listeners might experience?

That's awesome.

That was going to be part of what I was going to say.

My name is Janice Klain, and I'm currently president of the Maine Appalachian Trail Club.

I'm really out of my element here.

I feel like a newbie to the Appalachian Trail compared to a lot of you guys.

I got into working on the Appalachian Trail because I'm a teacher and I'm using my teacher voice, sort of.

But I taught high school students for 50-plus years.

Janice, maybe you can tell us why you picked Walter Green for that award and how much he means to the club.
