from Section Hiking the Appalachian Trail · host Jon Eskelsen

In this episode, our intrepid host comments on a recent Supreme Court case involving the Appalachian Trail and whether the Forest Service (rather than the National Parks Service) is allowed to issue permits for a natural gas pipeline that crosses the trail.   Also, in the absence of Major League Baseball, our host looks back at how awful color commentary is for major league sporting events!   For those who want to read and listen to the actual Supreme Court case: Cowpasture et al v U.S. Forest Service, you can read/listen to your hearts content here, here, and here.   Take care!
