How many "half way" points can you have? It turns out that there are three...
1. The "traditional" halfway point. Many years the trail is re-routed somewhere and the exact mid-point moves. A sign has been at the traditional midpoint for several years now.
2. The mathematically correct mid-point. A new sign is being erected. Here is a picture of me next to the temporary sign.
3. The psychological mid-point which is Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The ATC (Appalachian Trail Conservancy) office is located there and they take your picture and note your name is a book. It is about 40 miles south of the exact point, but they can't just move the ATC office every year, can they?
