[cdt-l] What to do after the CDT?

>>remain to be laid down.

The finalized corridor alignment might be 92% complete, but 
this remains a combination of trail and road walking, (with 
some interim x-c and bushwhacking) similar to the CDT 
experience in New Mexico, but considerably more challenging, 
due to the rougher nature of the terrain and the condition 
of certain trail segments that the guidebook compels one to 
follow.

"92% complete" sounds very seductive, but it just doesn't 
tell the whole story.

See the "Current Trail Information" box at the bottom of 
each passage description for an idea of the challenges that 
await prospective thru-hikers.

I realize "challenge" is a relative term around here, 
especially for those intrigued by this particular thread!
