Question 322661: In 1948, Earl Shaffer became the first person to hike all the 2100 mi of the Appalachian trial- from Springer Mountain, Georgia, to Mt. Katahdin, Maine. Shaffer repeated the feat 50 years later, and at the age of 79 became the oldest person to hike the entire trail. When Shaffer stood atop Big Walker Mountain, Virgina, he was three times as from from the northern end of the trail as from the southern end. At that point, how far was he from each end of the trail?
