    Well, for one I can say that I watched start to finish. One patch they need is for completion of all the trails. But it would take a lifetime to achieve. As for the one who won't change the listed names even when proved wrong, well, that's just nuts. I'll never hike any of these being the other side of the pond, but I've enjoyed watching. A lot of work has gone into this Adam. Thank you for sharing. PS I hope the knee is fully recovered.

    Thanks for going the extra distance and watching that whole thing. It was soooooo long lol. But hopefully moved quickly. OO gosh there are so many trails I'm not sure anyone could do that. Though they do have the patches for each state so maybe you could just collect them all! O it will always be a continuous process but it is healed up good enough that I can hike with it again which is good enough to me!

I am also proud to say that my dog, Ruari, is among an elite group of dogs to have completed both the E2E on the LT and the 48-4K NH lists! Unfortunately, Ruari is not allowed to completed the New England 4k list since they don't allow dogs in Baxter State Park :( Amazing video again!

    Glad you found it useful! So that’s what was tricky about wanting to link everything. I literally covered so many it would make too crazy long a list of links in the description. Those documents on Facebook I linked consolidated all of the lists in one place for each state for the most part. A google search for any of the list names should be able to find you it’s direct website. Unfortunately for the wicked wild 25 you just might actually need Facebook. There is a separate website with some descriptions but the main curation and official checklist are only contained in the creators Facebook group he made for the wicked wild 25. His separate website does not have this material and only a few blog posts. But maybe it has contact info so you could message him for the pdf file of the list: www.gregwestrich.com/wicked-wild-25
