2001 AT Through-hikers

“We was hiking up near Bingham Maine and we met Doro and her dog Aho. She is a south bounder, fresh from Switzerland. Her dog is a Burmese Mountain dog, carried the tent for her and was a very able dog for the trail. Very friendly, if you see her say hi.

We also met Chuck Wagon, who started in Georgia on January 1, and picked up Grandma Spit in Stratton recently to keep him company. He finished school a semester early so he got an EARLY start. We chatted for awhile, fed them and wished them well after the handshakes. I'm guessing he'll be first this year.

To all through hikers: Good hiking.”
