How many miles per day does everybody think she was actually hiking, when she wasn't taking zero days? 30 tops?

If she really hiked from Front Royal to Bearfence, her morning and night stops, she did 53 that day. But there are a lot of places the AT crosses Skyline Drive so she could've hitched ahead in some places or walked the easier and probably shorter road. I wouldn't totally discount a legit 53, then she was so trashed that the next day she did a few miles and hitched out for a Nero day (near zero) in the section there's no doubt she skipped over.

Maybe a mile or two.

She spent most of the trip scissoring and sixty-nining with Meatballs in the back seat of the latter's car.

On their Facebook page someone is claiming that they saw Kaiha at Byrds nest, just 31 miles south of 522. A few hours later she posted that she was 15 miles ahead of that location traveling at 6 mph. She obviously hitched parts of the Shenandoahs.

"I saw and spoke to Kaiha @ approx. 4pm at Byrds nest #3 on the 3rd (31mi S of 522). That's a 3.44mph rate for 9 straight hours, assuming she left @ approx. 7am (just after sunrise). While very impressive for 9 straight hours, it's not unbelievable. I see that she posted @7:30pm that same day that she had just spent the past hour at Big Meadows wayside. That would mean that she hiked the 15 miles from Byrds Nest #3 to Big meadows wayside in 2.5hrs (6mph). She was hiking fast, but she wasn't running. I've done a couple 30 mile days, and the last thing I wanted to do at the end of those was crank it up and run for 15 more! Haha My bet is she hit the pinnacles picnic area 2mi S of Byrds Nest and hitched to Big Meadows. Speculative, yes...More believable (given available info), definitely. Remember this was labor day weekend and the park was packed with folks who would've hitched a thru hiker! It's too bad she forgot to resupply during the hour she was at the wayside on the 3rd, then she wouldn't have run out of food and be forced to hitch into Waynesboro the next day at 10:30am..."

So you believe "someone" in this case, I take it?

Well I actually saw and spoke to her at 4:15pm at Byrds Nest, and then I met up with her at the Wayside after we both "ran" some easy 10:00/miles.

Are you saying I am a liar? Because it's obvious this "someone" has some gaps in her story.

P.S. Yes I am assuming this "someone" is a female because only a woman would be so petty to try and discredit someone getting a record.

And someone is delusional.

The word "gullible" isn't in the dictionary.

Any MDs out there want to take a shot at a diagnosis? Are we dealing with a troubled individual or just a (really bad) con artist? Her delusions of grandeur seem to fit with a PTSD diagnosis.

"PTSD: It is known that some people with PTSD experience manic and/or hypomanic symptoms that mimic those of bipolar disorder. These manic and hypomanic symptoms are a result of an overactivated sympathetic nervous system in which the stimulatory response inhibits the body’s ability to relax (i.e. the parasympathetic nervous system). It is already well-documented that psychotic symptoms (such as delusions) can manifest as a result of PTSD. It is totally feasible for delusions of grandeur to occur among individuals diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Examples of delusions of grandeur

There are substantial differences in the degree of grandiosity linked with grandiose delusions in different patients. The delusional perceptions may be directly related to cumulative environmental stimuli. In other words, if a person watches a particular show a lot, they may think that they’re the host. If a person reads books about presidents, they may believe that they are in charge of a particular country.

Professional athlete: Some cases of grandiose delusions involve people believing that they are a professional athlete (e.g. Michael Jordan)."

She's a narcissistic fantasist and sociopathic liar.

"It is believed by some experts that sociopathic lying is connected to the mental illnesses Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD)."

She probably also believes she has a 'guardian angel', or some such similar thing, looking over her and after her. Also, I'm guessing she's smoked too much weed and is susceptible to and suffering from marijuana induced psychosis.

Google any of these if you want to know more.

Yes, well what about her enabler Jenny Meatballs?

Maybe it is all of you that are delusional.

The diagnosis from earlier in the thread seems spot-on:

Does anyone else find it bizarre that Jenny Meatballs coincidentally bumped into Karl Meltzer and took a selfie with him?

What exactly was going on there, was she hiking ahead of Ms Bertollini?

Weren't they together on parts of the hike?

Bizarre and creepy. What disorder does meatballs have?

Yes, when she was driving her to the next stop for booze, cigs and acid.

She doesn't look the full quid.

Also, scroll down the Google image search and read some of the facebook and other posts:
