Is there someone who roughly calculates the number of thru-hikers leaving Springer week by week? It would be great to see when the crowding peaks and when it finally gets down to a more managable size.
I am guessing the last week of March & the first week of April is the highpoint. How many are starting in mid to late April?
It seems that thru hikers are starting earlier every year. Does that mean that there are fewer beginning their hike in April?
