[pct-l] use of that much money

[jeffmoorehead1 at cox.net (Jeff Moorehead)]

Absolutely.. I always give as much as I can to the NC-- best bet for true
preservation! If I could make that 10 million, half of $9,995,000 would go
the Nature Conservancy and half to be divided among groups who, in a similar
way procure land for long-distance trails (such as CDT Trail alliance). What
a way to preserve huge tracts of contiguous land. Oh, the remaining 5 grand
would comfortably finance my thru hike of the PCT...
