Benton MacKaye had the original for the Appalachian Trail. I wrote my paper on the trail and found it very interesting. He wanted to make a trail that would connect communities. He wanted to make a place where people could go to escape from the urban lifestyle. And while his exact idea did not happen during his lifetime, it is obvious that people are hiking the AT to get away from something. They are hiking the trail to get closer to nature and God, and I think that will be perfectly fine with Benton MacKaye.
