....is all that is left for the three of us to traverse. It had been a while since we've posted (there aren't too many towns in northern Maine) but rest assured that we've continued north. After leaving Ranger Doug and Sparky in NH, we we're rained and blown off of Mt. Washington, spent a week averaging only ten miles a day through the toughest terrain we have yet seen, walked to Maine (yay!!) spent another week nailing down well over 120 miles, and have arrived here in Monson, the gateway to the final chapter of the AT. Buy this time next week we will be at the foot of Mt. Katahdin about to ascend ourselves back into civilization. Its been over 2100 miles of walking since we've have seen most of you, and though we love and adore these woods, the urge for home and friends is strong. We will charishe the next week, our last, and look forward to our final meal. Our ascent date is tenatively the 21st, next Friday, so if any of you happen to be in the north woods of Maine...
Remember, however, that this walk is for the Dessin Animal Shelter. We have raised over 10,000 dollars now, but we need more. Please, if haven't already, click on the link to the right and help Dessin find good homes for as many animals as possible.
And I apologize; blogger is failing me right now and wont upload any more pictures. Will of course post more later on and hope to do a slide show when we return home, so look for the soon!!
