    There must not be many folks ahead of them! After they get their pictures taken at Harpers Ferry, please let us know what # the ATC said they were, H'sM!

    Ghost and Toothpick have finished NY and will hold up in CT tonight to sit out the flooding rains that are expected tomorrow into Monday. Have finished 1,450 miles; only 722 to go!

    Toothpick's wife here. I heard there was some debate about the actual speed of these two guys. It's all true. They even took about a week and a half off in PA! As the thread says, Toothpick left January 7th and Ghost left about a week earlier. You can check out their milage, pics, map, and Toothpick's (Ben) blog at http://web.mac.com/jesika.martin/iWeb/Ben. Enjoy!!

    We just hit Hanover today. Had to pick up some snow shoes in VT to get through the greens, and will need them for the whites and possible ME. Hope to be in ME in 10-14 days. Hope everyone has a good time at trail days.

    Ghost and Toothpick crossed Mt. Washington yesterday. Had a chance to see them on the observation deck web cam. Now onto Maine and the finish!
