The 2012 hiking season was distinguished by two hikers who made a splash: Cam “Swami” Honan, who included the Florida Trail as a part of his 12 Long Walks totaling 15,000 miles in 18 months entirely in North America, and Joe “Tatu Joe” Kisner, who set the first Fastest Known Time for completion of the Florida Trail.
