[pct-l] 2010 Thru Hike finish

[Tom Griffin]

According to his journal on trailjournals.com, Trooper crossed the 
border on Oct. 29th. It is amazing that hikers have been able to finish 
this late--it must be a record for the number of thruhikers crossing the 
border in the last week of October. However, the Class of 2011 better 
realize this is extremely rare--much better to finish on Oct. 1st than 
Oct. 31st.

Congratulations to all who've finished--and I'd like to hear more about 
the hiking conditions for these "extreme" finishers.
