of Troy,
I'm just trying to determine whether the Appalachians or the Appalachian Trail "starting" in Georgia is a matter of semantics or geology.

and finally WW, the appalachian trail starts in Georgia. Parts of West Virginia are called Appalachia, but the but the Appalachian mountains are a huge, old, eroded chain.. and not limited to West Virginia. they shape my land scape (well 50 miles away) too.
Again, is the start of the trail in Georgia just something everybody agrees is the "start"? Why not start the trail in the north? Don't people who walk the trail do it from north to south, and, in so doing, believe the trail starts for them in Maine? Or is there something more to this starting than I'm aware of? Did the Appalachians burst forth from south to north?
Not trying to be difficult here. Honestly.
Birth of a Trail Regards,
WW
