I just read an article that Lil Buddha will be the first to complete the new route of the Eastern Continental Trail. I guess other have hiked it, but he will be the first to finish the newly proposed trail on Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and then Newfoundland.

I met him this year on the AT when I was finishing up a section, and I have to say he is so nice and surprisingly modest. I didn’t even know he was such a trail legend (having started in Key West) until his hiking companions started to tease him.

Anyway, you can read the article here: http://telegraphjournal.canadaeast.com/rss/article/1168189

That is correct. The SIA/IAT is promoting him on their website:

That is a long haul. His journal is fun to read if you haven’t already (might have to link into it via his photos though due to a bug).

And…hHow long until the usual cadre of board trolls and trail nazis arrives to pick the guy apart?

Trail Nazis are hikers that demand you hike “X” number of miles per day, otherwise you are an inferior hiker.
