First SOBO thru hiker!


I can't believe I met my first one - the first southbound thru hiker. His name is Flashdance and he started on May 29th in Maine. Covering 800 miles in 5 weeks is rocking!!! Especially since the last 3 states are considered "the second half". Elevation swings will be huge again. I read in the journals that he had not taken a zero yet - but was planning a week off - he deserves it after that. I'm not going to plan on being done in 5 weeks. Will wait to meet the 2nd SOBO to get a better idea of when I will finish. I am currently 6 days ahead of my original schedule. Assuming I will finish 1st or 2nd week of Sept.
