Jason Boyes, The First South Bound thruhiker Spotted In The Smokies This Season.
I found this article on a webpage about the Smokies by a ranger named Doug:http://www.reflectionsofthesmokies.com/reflections-blog.html
I got to meet the first South Bound Thruhiker this
season. Well, he would be the second if you count Jennifer Pharr Davis who set
the speed record hiking South Bound this season. But I count Jason Boyes as the
first true South Bound Thruhiker to reach the Smokies this season because he is
doing an unsupported hike, not a supported trail run. Jason is from Seattle.
He started June 16th and has been hiking 25 to
30 miles per day. I had lunch with Jason at Tricorner Knob shelter on September the 2nd. He will finish the trail by the 9th!
Congratulations Jason Boyes and keep on hiking!
