<< I have never experienced anything like this community, ever seen or heard 
of as many miracles of human kindness as happen on this trail.  It is 
overwhelmingly good.  From this simple concept of a trail comes countless 
shining lights of how much people care, sacrifice, and give.  Here is found 
the finest examples of humanity.  As one woman wrote in the register, "it's 
the antidote for the evening news."  >>

For all the times that we find ourselves trying to explain to the rest of 
the world what attracts us to the long distance hiking community, and why we 
keep coming back, this is a great quote to encapsulate it.
