Thanks, Sly, but I'll pass.
MS still has quite a bit of ground to cover and I wouldn't want to speculate about the remainder of his hike. I'll just watch and hope it works out for him.
First off, he's mid-way thru the Whites.
Assuming he's in Gorham in a week, this gives him at least 35 days to do Maine. (Most folks take 22-27 days to hike the state).
I'm quite sure he'll make it to Katahdin by the 15th.
People that are speculating on his failing should be reminded that there were folks betting on whether or not he'd make it out of Georgia.
Whatever else one's feelings are about Mr. Smith, he's done more hiking this year than around 98% of the peole who are posting here, myself included.
People that feel the need to slam him, or people who feel the need to post "cute" posts about when he'll quit, should turn the computer off and go hiking.
Mr. Smith, if he were to drop off the Trail tomorrow, has done far better than anyone expected, and in the process, he made asses out of the folks who were ripping on him back in February.
In short, he's been out there hiking for the past six months.
How many of his critics can say likewise?
Keep on going MS, you are an inspiration to me, I am really enjoying reading your posts, I hope to meet you soon.............
exspanding the legond
by saying he wont make it this far in , you've added another state to the roster of states in witch minnisota smith has been bet on to loose. on the quest to become bet against in every state you have furthered the cause.

I just got an e-mail from a recent new WhiteBlaze registrant, Douglass Teschner, who wanted to thank Minnesota Smith for helping him push his car out of a ditch near Mt. Moosilaukee. Playing the good samaritan can take a lot of time, so stop giving him a hard time for how long he's taking!

Lurking for MS
I just got home from three days, two nights spent at Guyotte Tent site while playing around the Twinway trail from North Twin to Zealand and doing a gear test while some friends finished their 48 4Ks on Bondcliff and Bond. Hoped to run across MS, but alas (I think) didn't. This morning I did see a NOBO couple of thrus (man and women) that I am curious about. The guy had a big full red bread, and looks like he must have lost well over a hundred pounds on his thru cause he had a "deflated" belly pouch that must have hung ten inches over his hip belt. Almost looked like his knees would bang on it as he walked. We were on the top of N Twin in 40 mph winds and temps at around 37 degrees so no one was hanging around chatting and they just hurried through. Not trying to make fun of the guy, just kind of remarkable seeing the effects of such drastic weight loss. They had just made the 1100 foot in .8 mile climb out of Galehead Col and were a bit chilly
Everyone has a photographic memory. Not everyone has film.
Minnesota at Flume information center 8/30 doing ok
Geeeeeze... This is getting ridiculous...
Count me among the newbies who have entered the sphere of WB thanks to Minnesota Smith. He hunkered down overnight at our house in Harper's Ferry during a major downpour. I've enjoyed following his progress (or trying to) on this thread. I think I need a map...
damn, i wonder how many houses has he stayed at!! just from folks who've posted here on whiteblaze, i'd say he's got me beat!
