Closing out March with a count of 300+ thru-hikers from almost all 50 states. The weather has been good overall. The April hikers are coming through now and the numbers are picking up. I will be on the AT until April 21st. After that I will be packing up to leave for the PCT. The folks at Fontana Village Resort have graciously accommodated the ridgerunners again this year and we appreciate their support of the Ridgerunner/Caretaker program.
Attached are a couple of photos of interest. Photo 1 shows the beautiful hoar frost. Photo 2 is an evening at Mollies Ridge. Photo 3 is the trail repaired after a downed tree roots created a hole in the middle of the trail.

It has been a pleasure meeting all the March 2008 thru-hikers.
Keep hiking,
