I did some section hiking in Georgia back in April and
met a number of thru-hikers. I've been able to follow
a number of them via TJ posts and the ones still walking
are btw mid-Maine and Katahdin. Two hikers that I've
seen references to in posts are Blaze and Breeze. The
last references I saw were in central Virginia back in
June. Both are strong hikers and Breeze has done the
PCT so I'd be surprised if they dropped out. Anyone run
across them? At the pace they were keeping, they
probably finished in the last week or so.

Thx...

I hiked with a guy called Breeze for about two weeks in July (through PA), but I don't know if it was the same one. It seems to be a popular trail name.

Blaze summited with us on the 30th. He got lyme meningitis and took 3 weeks off trail in VT, but he was able to keep hiking after that.
As far as I know, Breeze is done, too...he signed the registers all the way to Baxter.

The breeze is done! Hiked with him on and off for a few days just south of Monson back in September. Saw a picture of him on the SUMMIT of K in Bone's (Ga-Me 08) Trailjournal Gallery. :D

nightshaded & Low Impact,

Thx for the info. The Breeze pic is the fellow I was looking for.
Good to hear both he and Blaze made it all the way...
