It's a good time to send in your 2,000-miler application

Right now would be a great time for class of 2014 thru-hikers and section-hikers to send in their 2,000-miler applications to ATC.

We have a special volunteer coming to ATC HQ in Harpers Ferry starting Monday for a week just to help us with data entry and sending out 2,000-miler packets during the peak of the season.

The 2,000-miler form can be found on our website at appalachiantrail.org/ATcompletion.

You have until December 31 to be included in the 2015 magazine listing, but it helps us out if you send your form earlier.

Here's what we have in the database for the class of 2014 in the 2,000-miler database as of today when our data entry volunteer left:

nobo 282
section 67
flip 9
sobo 3

We also have a couple dozen envelopes with 2,000-miler applications that haven't even been opened. We're still a couple weeks away in terms of the midpoint date of when nobos send in their reports.
