current stats for what its worth per atc a/o 4/28:
Springer Mtn., Ga.
(southern end of A.T.) 1,118
Neels Gap, Ga.
(30 miles) 950
Fontana Dam, N.C.
(160 miles) n/a
Harpers Ferry, W.Va.
(1,000 miles) 9
Katahdin, Maine
(northern end) -
the springer number is calcuated by taking the neels gap number and assuming a 15% drop out rate...85% of 1,118 is a calculated number to get back to the 950 reported by neels gap.
the neels gap number is also an educated guess. a/o 5/8 870 hikers had signed the register so the number they report to the atc is also an educated guess of register signers plus hikers estimated to have not signed in when they arrived.
