I really like this part--
"Davis undertook the hike to honor the memory of murder victims Meredith Emerson and John and Irene Bryant, who were killed last year in public forests. A drifter named Gary Michael Hilton pleaded guilty to Emerson’s death in Georgia and has been named as the sole suspect in the death of the Bryants.
“I want people to remember the life and the spirit and the joy of the Hilton victims as opposed to their tragic ending,” Davis said.
"She feels Emerson’s fight to survive was ultimately what led authorities to Hilton and is bringing him to justice. “I hope that my hike is in some way a thank you to Meredith for making the woods a safe place.”

P.S. Women can be STRONG hikers!!! Just read this--
"Friday, her second to last day on the trail, Davis hiked 64.8 miles — an unprecedented distance to cover during a through-hike of the Appalachian Trail.
“It’s the longest-known day of any of the record holders,” she says.

:eek: 64.8 miles in one day....ouch!
She did "most" of Georgia in a day...double ouch
Chuck Norris did a 55.7 mile day but that was when he went into town and carried back two kegs of beer and some pizza.
I merged a few threads together here to eliminate some redundant RSS feed thread starters.
