I didn't see anything posted about this anywhere else, so hopefully it's not a duplicate.
This year the Hike for Heroes team has a father/son duo thru hiking the AT. Dad has had to pull back to supporting his teenage son by car travel for now due to a pretty severe Achilles tendon injury. The kid, Hunter (I saw his trail name in a comment on FB somewhere but I can't seem to find it right now) is currently hiking with another pair, Big Bear and Dolittle. He appears to be making pretty good time from my amateur perspective. As of this morning he was headed out of Spivey Gap.
I don't often promote charities or other people's hikes but this one is something I believe in, so I would like to see this kid make it all the way to Maine while raising money for a good cause.
Anyway, those of you who are along the trail, be on the lookout for Hunter. I hope he makes it all the way.
