The wheelchair-accessible Appalachian Trail
Jeez, I'm for mainstreaming the disabled, but I don't know about digging out the pristine wilderness of the Appalachian Trial in order to put in a 900-ft-long boardwalk so wheelchaired people can hike all of 900 feet. A fourth short boardwalk was just created, and a fifth will be done before long. Associated Press via Times Argus (Barre, Vt.)

Na! I agree 100%! And, while they're at it we're going to need some steps cut into K2 so I can get up to the summit too.

Damn it, when will someone just invent hover chairs and be done with it?
