All I know is that this hiker is going to Katahdin!!!!
Only a few dozen would have reported in to Harpers Ferry by now. I think a week or so ago the Ranger at Katahdin said 60ish had stayed at the Birches. Exact numbers are, of course, impossible to know.

I finished on the 25th of July, and was number 48. Started march 17th. 60 or so would sound about right. God I miss the trail.
I did the section between Rangley and Stratton Maine last week and met 8 hikers who were all poised to finnish in the next 10-14 days. Four of these included the "Four Sisters" who seemed to be having a blast and who have really defied the odds by starting and soon-to-be-finishing together.
Peanut is on track to finish strong & happy!
Its funny to see these names in the registers in the past couple of days, now knowing they have finished. Congrats to all who have finished. We are looking at Sept. 27- October 1 as our window to completion.
Hey dad!!!
Just got back from hiking in the catalinas in Tucson AZ. I have to say I think I would rather be in Maine. It was pretty cool out there though. Yes congrats to everyone who has completed there hike on the AT thus far.
Bigglesworth, slowly but surely, is 3/4 there!
The RR from Abol just told me the count was right around 80.
