The thing with the american long distance hiking association hey feel 
has though they re god. they fell what they ay is the word. I am a 
triple triple crown meaning I have done the triple crown three times but 
they say I haven't because I refuse to get there regnztin guess what 
people have done the triple crown and called it long before they ever 
came along.
