Oh great and learned ones:I found the following info on the 2004 Kennebec River AT Ferry Service Final Report on the RiversandTrails.com site. I was surprised that according to them there were only 488 NOBOs and 163 SOBOs plus another 19 others who got across the river without their help. This puts the maximum number of thrus at about 650 assuming everyone who crossed the Kennebec made it to the respective end. Does that sound right? I had gotten the impression that more people than that are thru-hiking in recent years?Kent Gardam
