I went to Amicalola today and talked with Sean (DNR) and he said they have had about 35-40 thru hikers leave for Maine since Jan 1. He said 3 left yesterday and they looked pretty good for gear. They reopend the East Ridge Trail yesterday so now the thru hikers can head off the normal way instead of going up the 425 steps. He said the majority are still carrying over 40 lbs. Very few under 30 lbs. Just for general info.
