Southern Harp carried a backpacker's guitar from Springer until somewhere in 
New Hampshire.  She sent it back because she was worrying about the Whites 
and the 100-mile wilderness being too tough for the guitar.  She and her 
husband, Traveling Man, did a thru in 96 (at least I think it was 96) and 
then were caretakers for a couple of years at the Blackburn Center in 
Virginia.  They started doing the PCT this year, but Traveling Man had some 
terrible leg problems and they gave it up.

If you' ever get a chance to hear her sing (as at the 98 Gathering), you're 
in for a real treat.  She wrote a beautiful song about hearing Katahdin 
calling her name.
