Well then, if he's like Lone Wolf hiking to Dots dedicated then he's got my attention.
Matthewski.....you're on it.....you kill me, but you're on it. :D
Although he may be the oldest next year, older people have thru-hiked and finished. Earl had the record at 79 but I think some guy beat him recently.

EZ1, from near Cashiers, NC, hiked in 2004 and completed his 3rd (?) thru-hike of the trail. He was 81 at the time, beating Earl's record.

Yeah, that's the guy. Never mind hiking the trail, just living that long is a feat .
I gives me hope and encouragement when I see hikers 65 or over thru hiking the AT.
