#1

Here are some stats from the ATC (9/16):
1,460 hikers checked in at Springer Mtn., Ga. Before taking off on a thru-hike. I’m guessing Many Sleeps checked them all in.
No record kept at Neels Gap, Ga. (31 miles away from Springer)
No record kept at Fontana Dam, N.C. (164 miles away)
711 hikers (about half that started) have had their picture taken at Harpers Ferry, W.Va. (1,013 miles)
3 hikers have made it to Katahdin, Maine (2,179 miles) Check out this site for more information: http://www.appalachiantrail.org//site/c.mqLTIYOwGlF/b.4805579/k.DA92/2000Milers_Facts_and_Statistics.htm

I know their number of 3 for reaching Katahdin is wrong. As of June 21st 9 had checked in at Baxter and summited Katahdin. It is almost certainly higher than that now.
