Where's the herd?

[JavaPete]

Does anyone know where the herd of hikers heading North is right about now? I'm going to be visiting Maine, NH and Vt between the 16th and 20th of July and I would like to give back to the trail community that gave me so much.

Cheers,

Here is the relevant section extracted from map man's definitive analysis ( http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/content.php?44 ).
Of course this is an average of several previous years and does not take into account what hikers may have been experiencing this year. But based on these data, it looks like June 30 puts the NOBO herd in NJ/NY-ish


The first date in Table 3 is the median date each point was reached by the TJKs (same number of hikers arriving after this moment as before) and the second date is the mean date:
