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!

    God has me on a journey, I just wish that He didn't have to try so hard to get my attention.
