Uber Athlete Karl Meltzer will begin his quest tomorrow (August 5th) to complete the entire Appalachian Trail in 47 days. This will be an amazing achievement as the current record is 47 days and 13 hours. Hiking Trip Reports wishes Karl the best and will be watching closely. Currently it’s raining like a big dog in Maine and this will definitely be an obstacle so Karl needs all your good thoughts, prayers, and best wishes.
