The CDTA's closing its doors sent a shock wave through the hiking
community. Just when it seemed like there was some momentum building, what
with the new data books and the well-organized summer work trips and the
ever-increasing volumes of hikers each summer. It personally affected me
because I had just released my "Overexposed" CDT documentary and was
hoping the CDTA would add it to their store. I was hoping the video would
inspire and educate and mobilize.
So now what? Will government agencies keep building trail only to have it
lie fallow from then on (as is already the case in places)? Will someone
step forward with a new vision for how to organize and marshall the forces
of long-distance/long-time hikers who by their very nature are fiercely
independent and are suspicious from anything smacking of boards and rules,
business-mindedness and corporate donations?
Will the CDT(_) always be a 3rd cousin to the grand ATC and the PCTA? Will
the trail ultimately become a fuzzy corridor concept that never quite made
it off the ground due to lack of funds and clubs?
