    You're right, it looks like he's really slowed down before reaching the Mahoosucs. I wonder what happened? If not injured I wonder if he'll restart and try again...?

    Good point. This can't be rushed. JC13 is right too, Nancy and Chris get the FKT completion if the trails remain closed. Besides, if their lead stays at 48+ hours, less than a dozen miles wouldn't...

    That is an interesting question. Any idea when either Porter's or Hazel might reopen? As for the latter, I haven't seen a substantive follow-up on the incident with the bear and deceased hiker (ie...

    Interesting discussion. Both Joe's self-supported AT and LT FKTs are mind-blowing. I don't see it being a big deal that he accepted some water from a hiker on his LT FKT. However, given his dramatic...

    Sorry, but it wasn't me responding to your earlier post. I don't personally know Jeff and can't view his FB page. From posts on FKT site and what I've learned from his Strava page:...
