The End

Tuesday, August 10, 2010

THANK YOU!!!

Now that my trip has reached an end, I want to thank everyone who helped me along the way. Everyone that I met in the trail community was so friendly and helpful! Thanks to everyone who sent me care packages along the way, or left words of encouragement on my blog site or with my parents. Just knowing that I had so many family and friends following my trip helped me through the tougher parts of the journey. Thanks to those who hiked with me and met me at road crossings, especially my parents. Throughout Maine I had personalized trail magic: they met me at every road doing the "trail magic hop", resupplying me, getting me dried out if it rained. Although I did the hiking, it's thanks to everyone who supported me that I made it all the way to Maine, and had fun along the way. And of course a HUGE thank you to Liz, my webmaster and blogger :-)

    You are amazing!! I get tired of that expression because we hear it so often, but it truly fits you. What an adventure you've had, and you have shared it with us. You have posted many, many wonderful pictures. It is the only way Gramp and I will ever see the Appalachian Trail unless Cathy and David do get to walk it, which they want to do as soon as they retire. Their pictures cannot be better than these. The best one of all is of you sitting on the rock on Mt K pointing toward Newfoundland. Good luck there too. Love, G & G

    Ditto Dot! I think the photos should all go into an album and copies made available for sale - I'd definitely buy one! Thanks for sharing your wonderful expedition. (or expotition, as Pooh says)

    We loved reading your journal entries the last few months! Too bad we never caught up to you! Hope the rest of your hike was great.
