    Default Summited on Saturday!

    Hey y'all! I thru-hiked this year (my name's Crash Course) and I thought you might find it interesting that this saturday, August 14th when I summited (spelling..argh), I summited with 6 other women! There were 15 nobos finishing their hikes and 7 of us were women, which, considering the number of women I saw thru-hiking northbound, is a very significant number..

    Keep on hiking!

    Congrats, Crash Course --- we ran into each a couple different times on the trail this year, once pretty far south months ago in a lot of snow, and again quite a bit more recently (I think you were hiking with Silver?).
    Lucky finished about a week ahead of me (he got over his tick-borne disease faster than I got over my Giardia ...), and Lumbar kept getting on and off-trail but got back on to do the Whites with Lucky.

    Not like I had any doubts, but nice anyway to know that you finished!

    Default Stunning!

    As Earl Shaffer once said "The glory of Katahdin is in its dual beauty: to look at, and to look from."

    Congratulations!
