Just a teaser, but I'm going to have a pretty extensive thru-hiker survey up on my site within the next 48 hours. The data will be used for (assuming that I actually finish my program) my dissertation over the next couple of years. I'm also planning on a book release based on this info in '10.
I'll be out at Trail Days handing out the web URL like candy. You can't miss me - I'm the tall guy with the beard!
Things are looking good, and I'm anticipating that this will be the largest survey and database specific to AT thru-hikers over the next couple of months.
Thanks in advance to all the folks that have helped my with this project.
