I will have one more post before I get to Baxter State Park, but its a secret! Thank you all so much for supporting me in my choice to thru hike the trial. Your emotional support means more to me than anything. I hope that this blog provides a way for you to live vicariously through me for the next 5 months. I will do my best to make to make this blog as entertaining for you as my hike is for me.

Thanks again and happy trails,
