A few days off

The hikers made it!! Katahdin! They have hiked some 256+ miles in about 3 weeks, and they made it up and back down the mountain on Wednesday! Larry met them at the Katahadin Stream Campground Tuesday night,with more good food of course, and had a great time catching up. After a good night's sleep, they headed out at about 6:45 am. Larry drove around to the trail's end and spent the day at the base of the mountain, doing computer work, reading,took a swim,and chatting with Rangers and hikers. They climbed the Hunt trail and decended on the Saddle Trail to Chimney Pond, to Roaring Brook Camp. What a climb! They met so many wonderful people from all over...Illinois, Maine, Montreal, Germany,England, New Hampshire, and more. Larry drove them home through thunder storms (almost lost the kayak off the truck because of the high winds). They will be off trail for a few days visiting friends and family and plan to be back on the trail next week. Kelly will be adding a few trail notes while he is home, so check the past posts next week!

STICKMANS' JOURNAL...6/28/07...Thursday...through 7/2/07...Monday...Getting some “zeros” in...I’m getting as much of Chris Roy’s “Kennebec Ice Cream” into me as is possible, and when I’m not eating ice cream, I’m trying to hook up with a few friends, and get a few ScriptureSticks sanded. All of you take care, and God Bless!
