Does anyone remember when the ATC Magazine had a page entitled "The MInistry of Funny Walks"? Did this magazine have a different name prior to being called "Journeys"? I have found the Journeys archives, which go back to 2010, but this is not a part of those editions. I am looking in particular for a poem entitled "Why I Hate the Appalachian Trail." It was in what must have been a pre-2010 edition. I used to have this fabulous poem in a frame, but when we moved north it somehow didn't make the move with us. I would LOVE to locate this again. Any ideas? BTW, I really appreciate the AppalachianTrailCafe. Especially mid-winter in Wisconsin.

Interesting, but unfortunately before my "AT time". I didn’t start researching and hiking the AT until 2010, so I am unfortunately no help.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

Yes, "Journeys" was preceded by "Appalachian Trailway News" which many, including myself, consider was a superior magazine.
The poem you are looking for is in the Nov-Dec 2003 edition. I've linked to the issue below, it's on the last page (inside back cover) of the issue. (I'm guessing a computer will be superior to a phone for viewing this).
A few years ago in perhaps an overzealous bout of downsizing, I gave away decades of ATNs. Journeys I read and then it goes to the recycling bin.
I bet you can find old issues for sale on ebay, but I didn't check.

Beside working at the ATC, Robert Rubin also wrote the book On the Beaten Path which you might enjoy. I know I did.
