Well folks! I've made it! I did the summit yesterday around noon, such a great feeling! I'll update more when I find a computer!

20 miles to go! If all goes well I will be on top of Mt Katahdin tomorrow afternoon!

Lesson 253 from the Appalachian Trail:Falling down and jamming your face into your trekking pole will result in bruising.

I almost lost a fight with a beech tree today. It decided it wanted to slam down right on the trail when I was hiking past. I've never run so fast!

2,000 miles!! Such beautiful weather today. I can't believe I only have 2 weeks left on this trail! ME has so many nice views and ponds, but it is very muddy!

190 miles left to go! I found some friends on the trail again so hiking is fun again! I'm in Stratton, ME about to do the Bigelows.

I'm back on the trail and it's quite a muddy wet mess! The trail is a bit lonely right now, it feels like I'm the only person out here.

I'm sitting in the ATL airport! Isn't it crazy that I can go from GA to ME in 2.5 hrs on a plane? It took me 5 months to walk that!! Not as much fun in a plane!

Trip to NC!

I'm just finishing up my 4 day weekend with Greg down in North Carolina. It feels weird being off the trail but I had a great time relaxing, eating lots of food, and spending time with the husband. Somehow on my days off he convinced me to go to the gym... twice. It wasn't so bad now that I've shed a few pounds! Now that I'm fully rested and my iPod is full of new music I'm ready to head back to Maine. I will head back to Andover, ME where I will have 257 miles until I summit Mt. Katahdin!!

Taking a brief vaca to N.C. to visit the hubby. Successfully hitch-hiked 85 miles across ME. Part of the journey was on a motorcycle :) Living the DREAM!!
