I started my thru-hike on May 5th from the approach trail and finished at Mt Katahdin on August 16th. All in all I spent 103 days on trail (91 were spent hiking while 12 were spent zeroing). I met some incredible people and hikers along the way. To people like Aquaman, Six Slash, Lint, Ryan, and Shroomer-I say thank you! You made the trip truly memorable. I will post gear reviews, town tips, and trail tips soon.
    Congrats Politician! We met at the Front Royal Terrapin Station Hostel and I knew I'd never see your face again at the pace you were doing. I finished on Sept 25. But you had a great attitude towards your hike and it was a pleasure to meet you. Best of luck with the political campaign you were notably named for.

    Pleasure to meet you, Frankenstein! Congrats on your thru-hike! That was a great hostel there in Front Royal and I fondly remember demolishing an in-town McDonalds meal the morning after my stay, but boy was it hot on that section of the trail. I think the day that I hiked out of Front Royal, temperature were approaching 100 degrees.
