Have assigned 9/10 days to do it in. From Monson to the K.
On the drive back will go up Mt Washington to check it out if the weather is nice....
kinda funny how life intrudes into a hike eh? :)
im sure some of you hikers out there will be getting an invitation to a certain event next year, to be held probably in harpers ferry

What other things happened? You have to return to England before your VISA expires?

Sorry to hear that your thru-hike is over, but you sound like you are handling it well. You will love the 100 Mile Wilderness, enjoy. Sue/HH

Just noted that no one has picked up on your statement about a "certain event" next year. Care to elaborate?
I have enjoyed your journals and pictures. Hope you keep posting on TJ for the remainder of your hike.

That's plenty of time to hike Monson>Katahdin, you'll probably hike into Baxter on your eighth day out. I hope you two have an awesome time! And head up Washington *no matter* what the weather looks like, you won't regret it!
Bring plenty of bug dope and your head nets for the 100 mile wildereness.

Oh!!! The young whipper-snapper with whom I hiked up the Approach Trail on February 29th is all grown up now and has found himself a better hiking partner?!!!

... your daughter is in a few too.
Thanks, Bloody Cactus! She's taking the Greyhound bus back from Colorado, leaving some time today (Friday), arriving in Nashville (home) tomorrow afternoon for a 3-hour lay-over at the bus station, then on to Waynesboro, VA where she catches up with "the Family" (her hiking buddies) on Sunday morning. There, they begin a water-blaze canoe trip and hit the AT "fer real" again on Monday.
I think.
:)
She started with a vague goal of Harpers Ferry. Now she's been bit by the bug and plans on summitting Katahdin in a few months! I'll tell her to think of you. If I'm able (and she'll let me), I'll go up and summit with her.
:cool:
