Congrats! I'm glad you had a great summit day!

Congratulations. I've been enjoying following your hike at trailjournals.com and, numbers nerd that I am, really appreciated that you included your elevation gain and loss for each day at the end of each entry. What kind of device did you use to keep track of that?

Congratulations

What's next?

What a great day to finish up! By the time I get there, it will have been 40 years of anticipation. Congrats.

**Old Hiker** · 09-21-2013, 13:28

Nice. Congratulations. I choked up and teared up at Max Patch, the first REAL Trail name I knew. It's gonna be GREAT to get to Katahdin.

I loved this video. Your son asked, "How's it feel?" and you just had no words. Beautiful!! Congratulations

**scooterdogma** · 09-22-2013, 07:06

thanks so much for taking us with you. I enjoyed your journal and your summit brought tears to my eyes. What an adventure you have had this year. Big hugs of congratulations from an admirer. So happy for you and your son!

I think he had a Suunto watch/altimieter.

**capehiker** · 09-22-2013, 10:57

Gave me goosebumps. Thanks for sharing your moment.

**Biggie Master** · 09-22-2013, 11:10

Congratulations CM! Your reaction as you reached the goal isn't surprising. I met another thru hiker at Abol Bridge just a few weeks ago, and his video was very similar -- an extreme and unexpected emotional release. You probably could never describe to anyone what that felt like - I'm sure that words just wouldn't do. Congrats again, and thanks for sharing your experience!

**CarlZ993** · 09-22-2013, 11:47

Congrats!! I know how you felt. I was surprised how emotional it was for me when I got there (8/19/13).

**Tigerslair** · 09-22-2013, 21:24

You did it! Thanks for sharing, ChinMusic! It's been a pleasure following your journey. Blessings!
