According to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, the average thru-hiker takes six months to finish. Joe has only been on the trail for 4 months and 8 days.
So what do you people want from him? I mean do you you really expect him to finish that fast? What is he Bionic? Did you want him to rush thru the end to hurry back to work for the man? He's probably taking his time observing the mating habits of the Moose. Or perhaps he has joined a pack and is living with them for awhile.
So you need not worry. Plus very few people fall to their death, click on the title for the list of fatalities in Baxter State Park. It's usually heart attacks or exposure or your co-hiker clubs you to death for eating the last granola bar and tries to say they though it was a bear charging them.
Caryn I finally finished painting the stripes in the bedroom. It looks awesome. Thanks for your tips.
