    like i said, shes so out of it she doesnt even realize she got shuttled ahead, and i doubt thats the only time it happened.

    anyone else also think its odd that she was doing all of these big mile days while, it seems, still hiking with the same group of people? so what, they were all doing that many miles that quickly? really?

    I didn't buy this at first but it's looking more and more as if you're correct... she can't see these glaring contradictions even as she writes them. Dovetails perfectly with Bryson (Oriole) first-hand observations earlier.

    If she has an Android phone, we could put this to rest really quick if she gives us each days location history from Google: https://www.google.de/maps/timelin

    She claims the hitch was from Rockfish Gap, not Swift Run Gap, to dispute the one documented skipped section.

    Not sure how she goes from Waynesboro to walking into Andover a second time, but it seems she just started free associating in the middle there.

    If she has any hope of convincing anybody, she would need to publish a day by day account, stating where she slept, ate and resupplied, as opposed to scattered and rambling account like this.

    There has to be more people who crossed her path than the few we have heard from. And many more hostels along the way that might know something.

    She says she managed this achievement because she was "willing to make herself uncomfortable."

    Well, I'll be damned!

    Had Karl only been willing to do the same, he might've held onto the record a little longer!

    She was offered a spot on her Facebook page 12 hrs before she writes :

    put a camera, spot device, and new pair of shoes in my hand and I’ll show the world how you walk all day and night

    I'll gladly give her an old phone/camera to see her do it. Verizon moto g.


    One pair shoes, new, is all she needs people. Can't we get behind this gal?

    But really, if she has any Google apps installed on her phone that she took with her everywhere, with location services turned on (90% chance), she already has every day cataloged and breadcrumbed. She could just use this as evidence: https://www.google.com/maps/timeline

    I cannot name this
    I cannot explain this
    And I really don't want to
    Just call me shameless
    I can't even slow this down
    Let alone stop this
    And I keep looking around
    But I cannot top this

    If I had any sense
    I guess I'd fear this
    I guess I'd keep it down
    So no one would hear this
    I guess I'd shut my mouth
    And rethink a minute
    But I can't shut it now
    'cause there's something in it

    We're in a room without a door
    And I am sure without a doubt
    They're gonna want to know
    How we got in here
    And they're gonna want to know
    How we plan to get out
    We better have a good explanation
    For all the fun that we had
    'cause they are coming for us, babe
    And they are going to be mad
    Yeah they're going to be mad at us

    This is my skeleton
    This is the skin it's in
    That is according to light
    And gravity
    I'll take off my disguise
    The mask you met me in
    'cause I got something
    For you to see

    Just gimme your skeleton
    Give me the skin it's in
    Yeah baby, this is you
    According to me
    I never avert my eyes
    I never compromise
    So never never mind
    The poetry

    I gotta cover my butt 'cause I covet
    Another man's wife
    I gotta divide my emotions
    Into wrong and right
    Then I get to see how close I can get to it
    Without giving in
    Then I get to rub up against it
    Till I break the skin
    Rub up against it
    Till I break the skin

    They're gonna be mad at us
    Thy're gonna be mad at me and you
    Thy're gonna be mad at us
    And all the things
    We want to do

    Just please don't name this
    Please don't explain this
    Just blame it all on me
    Say I was shameless
    Say I couldn't slow it down
    Let alone stop it
    And say you just hung around
    'cause you couldn't top it

    Where are her personal friends in all of this? It would seem someone who knows her would take this misguided girl and try to steer her in a better direction. She really does need help and if she's as unbalanced as I'm thinking her to be, this thing could very well end in a manner none of us wants to see...

    Kaiha, if you are reading this, reach out to a professional and get some help. Not your friends or people on social media, a professional...

    FKT claim or not, she'll need to do some convincing to get publicity, and that is on her. Our trail community has a long tradition of open arms and healing, and it is clear that this young lady is in trouble. I would love to see this thread offer help instead of ostracizing.
