And if he can finish by around 1230 Tuesday, he beats Scott’s time by 5 days. Might be possible!
The tracker showed up between Pleasant Pond and Moxie Pond about 748 today.
Thanks we appreciate all the updates!

Hi,
Welcome and thanks for joining the fun here!

Based on yesterday's...
Jefferson, Adams, and Madison done!
The tracker just went over Mt. Washington!
Fog, south wind gusting to 44. He’s going fast!
That post was three weeks ago. Have we decided if he is one yet? :)
Just Bill said "I expect a boring and steady continuation of metronome footsteps to the finish."

He's into New Jersey now and apparently doing well. Two states to go, NJ and PA.

He's in New York State. NY, NJ, and PA to go!
Apologies Joey -that was me misreading. It was not meant negatively -It was a response to a previous poster criticizing someone (else) for smaller and smaller things and used you as an example where...
...forgot NJ
He's in Massachusetts. Four states to go!
MA, CT, NY, & PA.
