-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] About the ages - these are reported thruhikes only. As we all know, not all 2000 milers report to the ATC. I suspect there are several octogenarians who didn't make a report just in the last ten years or so. I'm gonna go for the record -- I'm leaving 2 miles in New York unhiked until I'm 90! I figure I'll really need the rocker by then :O) TJ
