Red Hat. Congrats on you completed section hike
I have been section hiking for about 10 years and this year stopped after a month and 400 miles. Now I can have the fun of going again next year for as far as I have fun. Then Keep going back because of all the great people I have met.
We hike for ourselves, and not for anyone elses opinion, or approval, of our accomplishments.
Also, on the AT completion certificate I don't believe it says anything about a thru hike. Only that you have completed 2000 miles on the AT.

Life's A Journey
It's not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body,
But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out shouting,
Woo Hoo!....What a Ride!
Wow! I'm impressed, I hope I'm still hiking long trails at 63.... you GO girl!

I would call you a through hiker, not a thru hiker. You hiked until you were through!
LOL, I knew she was joking, but that's how a few folks feel... Rainman, you are right, there were a bunch of younguns who yellow blazed most of Maine, just hopping from town to town to party. Odd Man Out, that's exactly what I said on my journal. Tzbrown, keep on with those sections, you will always be excited about hiking. I found that after 4 months or so, I wanted to just be done. That is sad when I love this trail so much.
Hey Red Hat - congratulations and I'm glad you made your health your priority. Thanks for all your supportive words during my hike. I'm glad I got to meet you along the way!
nah your heart , is where the thru-hiker lays, to me your a thruhiker.
stumbling goes the hippie.
howling goes the wolf.
i am stumble wolf
Congratulations Red Hat!!
Are you planning to be at SoRuck in January?
-FA
Plans are to head to Gathering in October and SoRuck in Jan.
Congratulations on finishing!! Met you on the trail last year I think in the Kincorra area. I am working on finishing in sections as well.
Hey, Ragamuffin, Stitch and I remember you and wondered how you were doing.

Congrats Red Hat! I would say you still did more miles than 95% of the "thru hikers" this year. I too noticed more than half of the hikers yellowblazing through Maine, after hiking that far, I didn't really understand why but Maine was no easy state, that's for sure! I enjoyed seeing you along the trail, I made my summit on the thirteenth.
whats happening redhat this is unicroc... i was with my wife scat tracker. congrats on your finish we never caught back up with your "bad knees" haha we finished october 3rd after 2 days of heavy winds that closed the mountain.... mildly depressed back here in michigan... Pct in 3 years!!!! congrats again!!!
After reading the posts in this thread, I must say that while I have seen many blue blazes, I have never seen a yellow one. What state are those in?
Wow! Great job, RH. Probally your Texas Woman Heritage helped you not only through your thru but also in making the difficult decision when you kneeded to. So, Lil Red is right. Yes. All this has just been prep for the big one. See you at the 2011 SoRuck.--Kinnickinic
