Greater Patagonian Trail

Trail Name
To be precise and well descriptive at the same time I decided to use the geographic term "Greater Patagonia" that includes Patagonia in its traditional limits and the surrounding area like "Greater London" includes the city of London and the surroundings. On the Argentine side Patagonia reaches much further north than on the Chilean side and has it's traditional limit at the Río Colorado which has its spring near the Laguna del Maule. This is the approximate latitude where section 1 ends and section 2 starts. So "Greater Patagonia" applies very well to the entire trail because all parts of the route are located at least 100 km within the traditional limits of Patagonia.
The name "Greater Patagonian Trail" seams a good choise because:
* with more than 1300 km length it’s a greater trail than all other published trails in Patagonia,
* the trail is without doubt a great trail one of greater trails in repsect of beauty and diversity,
* the trail is located completely within "Greater Patagonia",
* the name remains correct while the trail gets extended further south and
