12/2/2019 – Joe Dabes, aka Java Joe – #2, #8, #113, #131, #167, #198, #235, #270, #300, #343

From ~1980 to 2012 the length of the main FLT was between 560 and 565 miles, this slight variation caused by about a dozen small reroutes each year.  I know this not only from my 10 E2Es, but also being Director of Mapping from 2005 – 2012.  Also I was on the Board or Managers twice – in early ’80s and again mid ’90s.

Before ~1980 the length of the main FLT was ~510 miles, with the eastern terminus at Corbett NY on map M29.  At that time Trails Chair Erv Markert negotiated with the NYS DEC to extend the main FLT to the Long Path using existing DEC trails in the Catskills.

The present length of the main FLT, ~586 miles, is slightly longer mainly due to two factors, permission to put the trail onto NYC Water lands (and off roads – maps M28 and M29), forbidden before ~2012, and the extension of the trail to the summit of Slide Mt.

As for my fastest E2E in 2001 (age 61) it was 23 days, not 24, and it was done entirely self supported – backpacking.  However, it was done in stages of 3 – 6 days.  Originally intended as a through hike, I had to stop after the first 6 days because of bloody feet (caused by both constantly wet shoes and scratchy wool socks next to my skin).

Frank Bianco did it in a continuous 24 days, day hiking, and supported by his wife at road crossings.  This is a rather amazing feat as he was not only in his ’70s, but also legally blind with macular degeneration.

While Frank and I averaged ~25 miles a day I believe that a young fit person with a support team could average 40 or more miles a day and complete the main trail in 14 or 15 days. This is based on recent records on the AT for those setting records with a support team.

P. S. Back about 15 years ago running acquaintance Peter Palmer set an AT record averaging 44 miles a day with a support team.  Although a superb runner Peter walked the whole way, sleeping at trailheads in a van and eating enormous amounts of food.  He bested the AT record of another running friend, David Horton, who did a lot of running on the AT, but chose to sleep in a motel most nights thus losing valuable time.  David had his photo on the front of an issue of Sports Illustrated after his accomplishment.
