Potential HikaNation Exhibit photos -- pre-Thursday, August 30th

HikaNation panel 8.3.docx

Paragraph A

2 versions

HikaNation - A historic backpack across America
*A 14-month cross-country journey from 4-12-1980 to 5-27-1981
*Started in San Francisco, CA and ended in Cape Henlopen, DE
*Mission was multifaceted, highlighted need for more trails
*Organizers were Jim Kern, Bill Kemsley Jr., Paul Pritchard, and
Glenn Seaborg, all supporters of the newly formed American Hiking Society
*Hiker sign-up promoted in Backpacker Magazine

HikaNation was a 14-month cross-country backpacking trip starting
at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, California on April 12, 1980, and
ending at Cape Henlopen, Delaware on May 27, 1981 after traversing
over 4,286 miles and passing through 14 states and Washington, D.C.

Purposes for the hike included highlighting the need for more hiking
trails across America and promoting hiking as a low energy consumption
form of recreation.

HikaNation was organized by Jim Kern, William Kemsley, Jr., Paul Pritchard,
and Glenn Seaborg, and was sponsored by the American Hiking Society, the
United States Department of the Interior Heritage Conservation and Recreation
Service, Postum, Backpacker magazine and others.

While each state had a HikaNation coordinator who planned the route and
some activities through the state, Monty Montgomery was the HikaNation
"on-site" Hike Coordinator. Monty drove his van and airstream trailer parallel
to the HikaNation route and provided numerous functions.

Paragraph B

A 4,326-mile "super hike"
A very unusual group of hikers per Ed Garvey

"A super hike on the A.T." is what Ed Garvey wrote to American Forestry Magazine in
April 1981. For 500 A.T. miles in Virginia and West Virginia, a core group of nearly 40
hikers were nearing the end of their cross-country trek. "The state of Virginia will have
witnessed the passage of a very unusual group of hiker... The trail has seen hundreds of
'2000 milers', but this will be a '4000 miler' group," said Garvey.

Paragraph C

Promoted hiking and need for trails
Backpacker Magazine invited all hikers to join

Bold thinking led to the idea that this would be an event like none other. Sponsored by
the American Hiking Society, the U.S. Department of the Interior, Backpacker Magazine,
and Postum, its multiple purpose was to spur interest in hiking, promote the need for
more trails and create a national east-west cross-country trail route.

Paragraph D

Hikers came from all walks of life
No requirements, just show up

Backpacker Magazine invited readers to participate and organizers expected experienced
backpackers to sign up. With no physical, medical or backpacking experience
requirements, the 87 backpackers who enlisted to go the entire distance ranged in age
from 68 to a couple with a 5-month-old baby, and some who had no hiking experience.
While 37 backpackers finished the entire hike, it was estimated that 13,000 hikers joined
to walk at least some of the trail along the way. Retired USAF Lt. Col. Lawrence
"Monty" Montgomery served as onsite coordinator and van support, scouting the daily
route, alerting communities of the group's arrival, doing mail pickups, providing water in
dry areas, and transporting sick or injured backpackers. The backpackers elected
committees to handle day-to-day issues, rules of order, conduct, welcoming newcomers
and celebrating birthdays.

The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge closing
A historic first and only closing, a monumental logistical challenge

In a historic first, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge was partially closed to traffic so
the backpackers and a crowd of 10,000 well wishers, onlookers, and the just plain curious
could start the adventure. Experienced coordinators selected the routes through each state
and guided them to the next, 14 states in all. The commemorative celebration was held at
the U.S. Capitol, where representatives from Congress spoke to the backpackers, each
carrying their own state flags.

Paragraph F

The American Discovery Trail is born
HikaNation data useful in official east-west cross-country scouting expedition

Experiences, feedback and data from HikaNation were useful in establishing a route for
the American Discovery Trail, a 6,800-mile cross-country trail from California
to Delaware. In a category of its own as a Discovery Trail, it draws hikers, bicyclists,
horseback riders and runners, through small towns and big city greenways, connecting
the country to the cities of America.

Paragraph G

HikaNation and the A.T.
Trail clubs, officials, welcome HikaNation and ask them to spread out

Though the A.T. was a key route for the final leg of HikaNation, the impact of such a
large backpacking group was not overlooked. To lessen the strain on trail facilities, the
backpackers spread out and were required to obtain proper permits and follow A.T.
regulations, so as not to affect the needs of other hikers. In addition, many individuals
associated with the A.T. played critical roles in ensuring the hike continued toward the
coast. Members of the ATC and individual trail clubs provided logistical support, route
finding, agency coordination, welcome events, trail dedications, a 1-year HikaNation
anniversary commemoration, and hosted the arrival event in Harper's Ferry marking the
culmination of the hike's journey on the A.T.

It was said of the adventure that,
"It was one, long handshake across America."

Potential Exhibit photos

From Gwen, the AT Museum Exhibit coordinator, concerning the HikaNation Exhibit:
the very minimum resolution for images is 300 dpi with final image width at 8". If uncertain as to quality of original or scan, you can arrange to have the owner of the image mail the original directly to the graphic designers. They will take it from there and return safely to the owner. Gwen can provide the address when needed.

(7/27/2018)

Paula's ideas & comments for Exhibit Group photos:

1) A pristine bridge photo. I have Jim K looking , Craig Evans and Mike McReynolds looking.

2) A pristine Capitol DC photo with John Stout. Mountaineer magazine said they would try when back from vacation, and Jim K. is looking.
See Parade Day photo above:
William's is 600 DPI of a screengrab from on-line Mountaineer pdf.
Also see images in "Reese rescans" above.

3) Terry Ernst photo of the Mississippi River crossing.
See Mississippi River photos above--William's copy is not as good as Tim Geoghegan's copy---Tim needs to be contacted so his copy can be rescanned at 300 DPI or 600 DPI.

4) Anything from Hollins College on AT perhaps? That group photo I think is pretty good camera...or if there was one from Harper's Ferry. Something AT...
Reese's Harpers Ferry photo is available above.

5) The DE boot dip and circle.

Paula's ideas & comments for Exhibit Hiking photos with smaller groups/indiv:

1) Something showing smaller group hiking or relaxing on AT.
Reese and group at Tye River along the Tidewater ATC section of the AT -- March 1981:
tye-river-bridge.jpg -- Butch's Bunch

2) A "loner" type photo showing that ya'll were spread out on walking ( person up close and in distance others behind )

3) A nice individual scenic photo, one of those you see in calendar?

4) A snow shot of tent with frost inside, or snow on AT.
Tim Geoghegan's photos below, all would need to be rescanned.
William should have some snow shots in his slides...searching later.

5) Steering committee photo around campfire?
8/2/1980 -- Steering Committee route plan meeting with Utah Pathfinder Al Frost
Rex Halfpenny's photo below, and it would need to be rescanned.
RH-048.jpg -- not 300 dpi -- 72 dpi

6) Monty van pix (I have Jim looking from his book)
5/14/1980 -- Rainbow afternoon over support vehicle, near Hawthorne, Nevada
Rex Halfpenny's photo below, and it would need to be rescanned.
RH-013.jpg -- not 300 dpi -- 72 dpi

7) The one of Ed Garvey (the ATC loves him)
4/27/1981 -- Ed Garvey meets hikers at Bootens Gap, Shenandoah National Park
Rex Halfpenny's photo below, and it would need to be rescanned.
RH-159.jpg -- not 300 dpi -- 72 dpi

Paula's ideas & comments for the 3-ring laminated letters to go in binders (called flip charts):

1) Individual stories (voluntary submissions - if they have trouble writing, I can call, interview, type and get approval while on phone)

2) Hiker photo then and a recent mug shot

Paula's list & comments of artifacts potentials
(Paula has to provide list at time of submission; artifacts to be mailed after the submission):

1) HikaNation Banner (museum probably has no space) -- (in Janet's possession)
2) HikaNation bridge poster (original signed by hikers) -- (in Paula's possession)
3) HikaNation postum mug
4) HikaNation belt buckle (Mike McReynolds' photo) or Ed Snyder has mold of one from Gudy we bid on in CO.
5) HikaNation knife -- (in Paula's possession)
6) HikaNation flag presented at Capitol -- (in William's possession)(Joe Shute's, donated by Shirley Hearn)
7) HikaNation certificate to hiker (Mike McReynolds' in William's possession)(also there's a photo of it that William has)
8) Gomer's carved hiking staff? He hasn't responded to my email, IDK if he does email.
9) Does anyone have the keys to the city, or the HikaNation Proclamation (Mike McReynolds' photo) for towns ?
10) External frame pack with patches -- (Toni volunteered)
11) Heavy leather boots -- (in Paula's possession)
12) Letters signed by Reagan, congressman, etc.
Ronald Reagan, James Watt, 2 others -- on website & (Reagan/Watt in William's possession)

14) Some original magazine and news articles (aged)
15) Original AHS letters to hikers, newsletters, misc documents
16) Gomer's rickshaw (again, I haven't heard from him and museum probably has no space)
17) Phil Atkins patent application paperwork for a headset on sleeping bag (very inventive for him to get) -- Philip A. Atkins -- Canopy Frame Patent -- November 11, 1980 -- on website
& (in William's possession ?)
18) Poems, songs written by various members
19) HikaNation patch:

Notes from Gwen, the AT Museum Exhibit coordinator:

Materials are due by September 15, 2018 with exhibit being installed by the end of the year.

Gwen is saying for HikaNation exhibit: images with at least 300dpi with final width of 8".
Very minimum resolution for images: 300 dpi with final image width at 8". If uncertain as to quality of original or scan, you can arrange to have the owner of the image mail the original directly to the graphic designers. They will take it from there and return safely to the owner. Gwen can provide the address when needed.

Type of materials we will need: title, subtitles, main text, and high-resolution images. Artifacts may be added once we have display cabinets or secure fixtures for the 2nd floor. Each artifact is best exhibited with a label or caption telling its relevance to the topic, and the museum has a form for the donor of the artifact to complete documenting their giving it to the museum (loan or gift).

Timetable to complete the interpretive panel is based upon the terms of the grant, which dictates the panel must be designed, fabricated, and installed before 12/31/18.
