My GF and I was hiking BSP south of KSC. We never saw him! I say Shenanigans! We did see a doe and its fawn when we walked around Daicy Pond. I suppose he could have snuck by us better than the deer did. I wonder if that was his support team we saw pull into KSC Sunday morning? There was so many people there that morning, we skedaddled.

I likee likee what I see in Jurek's two recipes he shares here, Vegan Chocolate Adzuki Bars and Lentil Mushroom Burgers: http://www.runnersworld.com/nutrition-for-runners/eat-vegan-run

The article also shares more about Jurek's background letting us know what he's about, the REAL person that he is, the connection to others and the environment he shares, and that he's not just some one dimensional mindless disconnected running machine. He amply demonstrated this on his AT FKT, in this You Tube vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vog3AjgzQLY, and, more importantly, in his everyday life.

Do that with Jennifer Pharr Davis, Scott Williamson, and Liz Thomas too! LOOK at the person behind the records! The records are really not what totally define them! What these high energy individuals are about is MUCH MUCH more than being FKTers. The FKTs are the result of attributes much larger than just doing things speedily! There's quality of integrity and well roundedness where they are making a MUCH MUCH bigger impact than simply being FKTers. That's what I REALLY call having a greater AWARENESS and HIGH ACHIEVING. *I hope other FKTers, FKT seekers, and outdoors folks, including the hiking community, including thru-hikers, recognize this and consider emulating! All these folks GIVE BACK - THEY CONTRIBUTE - THEY ARE CONNECTING - THEY ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN MORE WAYS THAN SIMPLY BEING HIGH ACHIEVING FKTters.

What's an FKT'er? The name that acronym brings to mind is not a flattering one. But, that could just be my twisted mind.
Stands for Fastest Known Time.

There is no "official" speed record for the A.T. or most other trails since that would require a sanctioning body, an unchanging offical route, officiants, and lots of other red tape, not to mention that most trails aren't intented for this sort of thing. Because of this, all speed records are based on the honor system and the title Fastest Known Time is probably the most accurate way of describing them.

I posted this in another thread, but thought I would post it here, too. BSP's take on it from their facebook page.

Ultramarathoning in Baxter Park – another perspective.Our Facebook page is a great place to celebrate the nature of Baxter State Park. On occasion, we need to use this platform for serious discussion.
Scott Jurek's recent completion of the Appalachian Trail in the shortest time on record is a remarkable physical accomplishment. With all due respect to Mr. Jurek's ability, Baxter State Park was not the appropriate place for such an event.
Let's be clear and concise, Scott Jurek's physical abilities were recognized by corporations engaged in running and outdoor related products. The race vehicle used to support Scott in his run, as well as Scott's headband, clearly displays these corporate sponsors. The sponsors are providing money and equipment to support Scott's run in exchange for advertisement and engagement that they expect will protect or increase their market share and improve their profits. Included in this exchange are media companies such as “The Game Changers, LLC” of Laguna Beach CA, who were hired to capture video and photographic coverage of Scott's run to enhance the opportunities for commercial benefit from his run.
When Scott arrived at Baxter Park to complete his run at the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail, he brought all of this to Baxter Peak, in Maine's largest wilderness.
Mr. Jurek and the corporate sponsors were careful not to mention in the media coverage that one of the unfortunate outcomes of the celebration party at Baxter Peak at the completion of the event were the three summons issued to Mr. Jurek by a Baxter Park Ranger for the drinking of alcoholic beverages in public places (BSP Rule 7 and Maine State General Law), for littering (BSP Rule 4.5) and for hiking with an oversize group (BSP Rule 2.2). In addition, media personnel were issued a summons for violation of a commercial media permit which prohibited filming within 500' of Baxter Peak. Not much to be proud of there.
An additional discouraging observation. The Appalachian Trail provided the challenge and backdrop for this event and consequently, provided the conduit for this event to land in Baxter Park. The profile of the AT is large enough to attract the corporate sponsorship necessary to support and carry such an event. The AT is apparently comfortable with the fit of this type of event in its mission. The formal federal designation and authority of the Appalachian Trial does not extend into Baxter State Park. The AT within the Park is hosted at the consideration of the Baxter State Park Authority. The Authority is currently considering the increasing pressures, impacts and conflicts that the Appalachian Trail brings to the Park and if a continued relationship is in the best interests of Baxter State Park.
Thousands of people, including Mainers and others from all over the world, visit Baxter Park and hike in the Park's wilderness, including a climb to Baxter Peak. People celebrate their accomplishment, often with their families and often many times over, quietly and with appreciation for this precious gift left to us in perpetuity by Percival Baxter. These “corporate events” have no place in the Park and are incongruous with the Park's mission of resource protection, the appreciation of nature and the respect of the experience of others in the Park. We hope for the support of the AT and BSP communities to help us steer these events to more appropriate venues in the future.

How many thread are we going to bash this incredible effort of Scott's?????

The mind boggles at how many sticks-in-the-mud are on this WB forum. Those that have never even thought about pushing themselves past their comfort zones in anything, let alone hiking. and not just the old farts (like myself), even some of the "youngsters".

I am truly saddened by this, but oh well, there is simply a completely different culture back east. It was obvious when I first stepped on the AT last year.

Scott's effort was incredible. I hope some still on here do celebrate this amazing physical feat rather than continue to pooh-poo it continuously on every thread they possibly can, including starting yet even more duplicates.

They got him for littering. You'd think after spending 46 days on the trail he would have got the leave no trace message.

I keep reading in articles that he had a muscle tear or a torn quad. Aside from the fact that even the most minor of sprains is techinically a torn muscle, I don't recall him stopping of to get an MRI to confirm his "torn" muscle. I don't believe that he tore anything significant during this hike. He would not have finished if he had. This is not an attempted shot at SJ, but rather at the joke that most journalism is these days.

All a matter of time and a few more of these and the AT will end at Abol bridge.If I didnt "need" Katadin for my state highpoint list, I'd certainly end my AT hike at Abol and eschew visiting BSP and that rather mediocre (by western standards) mountain. What a complete turnoff. (But I really do look forward to hiking through the rest of the AT in Maine... this September, can't wait).

lol.. how do you determine mountain quality? Katahdin certainly beats all other mountains on any of the national scenic trail.

Rob, Don't you know that size is not everything? Now stop being silly. Katahdin is a beautiful, majestic, challenging and sacred mountain. It is a worthy destination for any hiker.

“I dwell in the shadow of Katahdin — Maine’s superlative mountain . . . If the concept of wilderness can be reduced to any specific illustration, it is probably best typified by the impression of its lonely mountain, reached only by a long journey through the wilderness.”
— Myron Avery, Mount Katahdin in Maine, 1934

My comments will most likely not be popular here.

IMO Scott Jurek had an opportunity to set a great example for other AT hikers, by demonstrating compliance with the Baxter State Park regulations on his summit of Katahdin. He failed to do that. Unfortunate.

Yeah, I get the adrenaline rush, the thrill of victory, etc. Momentary loss of judgement on the excitement of the day. But he had a golden opportunity to show the rest of the AT hiking community, that even HE would play by their rules, even under extraordinary circumstances on setting a record.

Many here will chalk this up to some kind of vindictive response from BSP officials, on a power trip. That's too bad, and IMO an immature response. The reasons they have their rules are well documented.

Baxter State Park and the ATC have many issues to settle. The great majority of AT thru hikers probably comply with their rules. There's always the 2% that decide their own pleasure and gratification should take precedence, and anyone who doesn't "get that" has a problem.

I have even more respect for Jennifer Phar Davis now.

Here's how I see it. Scott's crew did a good job helping Scott break the record but they really let him down at the end.

Supposedly, one of Scott's crew had asked a BSP ranger if it was OK to bring champagne to the summit and the ranger's reply was " Just don't let families see it". I'm having a hard time believing that ever happened especially after all the complaints the park made about hikers partying at the summit and even if the rangers did give the green light Scott's crew still should have know the rules.

I don't blame Scott one bit, I blame his crew.

Here's how I see it. Scott's crew did a good job helping Scott break the record but they really let him down at the end.

Supposedly, one of Scott's crew had asked a BSP ranger if it was OK to bring champagne to the summit and the ranger's reply was " Just don't let families see it". I'm having a hard time believing that ever happened especially after all the complaints the park made about hikers partying at the summit and even if the rangers did give the green light Scott's crew still should have know the rules.

I don't blame Scott one bit, I blame his crew.

I dont recall Jureks story mentioning they told the ranger they were bringing champagne to the summit to spray it an consume it there.

He told them that they 'had' champagne.

Some officers will give you a warning ticket
Some will give a speeding ticket.
Does everyone that speeds get a ticket, every time?
No.
But to get people to follow rules, there has to be tickets given some of the time, so that people know there is enforcement.

Shouldnt criticize the ones that do their job. Criticize the ones that dont.

I think BSP simply had a high profile, closely watched event, and they did what should have been done.

At least their citations arent criminal anymore. They used to be.

Really, what else would someone do with champagne?

Here's the quote from Scott's blog on how he describes what happened with champanegate. (http://blog.scottjurek.com/post/124919853524/reflections-on-the-appalachian-trail)

"One friend decided to surprise me with a bottle of champagne. He asked the two park rangers at the trailhead if that was okay and was advised to keep it away from families and children. To him, that sounded like alcohol was acceptable within reason. When I reached the summit, two different park rangers watched my friend hand me the bottle to celebrate. We were not aware of any rules against alcohol and I own that- I should have been better informed. Neither of the rangers said a word about it. If they had, I would have immediately put the bottle away. No citations were issued to any of the people with alcohol and no warnings were given. It was only four hours later, after we had hiked down with all our trash and reached the parking lot, that I was surprised to be met by three more rangers who now issued me three summonses. I am certainly willing to accept responsibility for any rules that I may have broken, but I have yet to be fined."

Consume it more privately, as they do allow.

You cant get a ticket, until you have already broken the rule. They have no obligation to inquire of your intent and warn you of conflict with rules either.
They might assume you , like most others, are aware of them.

Thanks Muddy, you're right. Looking at the BSP rules regarding alcohol they use state law.
6.5. General laws of the State pertaining to alcohol and drugs apply within the Park. Maine law prohibits the drinking of alcoholic beverages in public places. (http://www.baxterstateparkauthority.com/rules/)

I would infer from this that it would be OK to consume alcohol at your reserved camp site but not in common areas. So, the rangers probably did tell Scott's crew to keep it away from families.

"The circumstances included Jurek’s acknowledging park rules with park officials before breaking them, Almy said".

Is Penobscot County District Attorney R. Christopher Almy lying too? Would it be wise for him to do so immediately after the settlement?

I believe Jurek deserves his record. That is a separate matter. It is an incredible feat that stands alone. The champagne did not help him obtain the record. It has nothing to do with the record.

I also believe people should stop assuming that, now 3, prominent Maine officials are lying about Scott being warned ahead of time about the rules.

Technically he didn't break the rules until after the hike was over (I assume he touched the sign first).

“We’re glad this is over,” Bissell said, “and we can move on to more important things.”

This is the first sensible thing I've heard either Bissell or Jurek say in public about this case.

In my opinion, the verdict was fair. In particular, dismissing the "excessive group size" citation sounds right. A strict-liability, "if he weren't there, they wouldn't be," argument would preclude anyone famous from visiting, for fear of accreting well-wishers.

And now, let's take Bissell's advice.

And his record should be taken away from him for not following the rules.

What record?

You do realize that no A.T. speed records actually exist, right? There is no sanctioning body, no rulebook, nobody to give something or take something away, nothing.

All there is are some hikers who say "I'm going to hike...fast, here's how I'm going to hike it, and I'm going to hike it the same way so-and-so did already but I'm going to do it faster. It's all on the honor system beyond that. In a nutshell that's an FKT.
