Hello friends. I was reading an article in my local Beckley paper, The Register Herald, about a new historical book, "Along Virginia's Appalachian Trail," produced in cooperation with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy by Leonard Adkins. It said he's among a rare breed of hikers that have 5 officially recorded thru hikes since 1936 when the trail was completed. It stated that fewer than 50 have accomplished this.
I'm wondering what members of Whiteblaze.net have 5 or more thru hikes....
