7/28 - Update

In Vermont now, 590 miles left. There's mud everywhere and its raining a lot which is slowing him down. He also wanted to let everyone to know that he hasn't checked his email in over a month, so don't think that he's snubbing you, well actually he is snubbing you....he's just busy walking to Maine.

Old Update (new to us)

July 12th - Al met up with Guy as he was walking off the trail in New York...had a good meal but they thought there was a dead rat in the room. Turns out is was Al's backpack. Ha. So, Guy was supposed to be there for 3 or 4 days, and every night when Al would pull out his notebook to determine the mileage for the current day and the next, there was apparently problems when Guy realized there were more miles than he thought. Needless to say Guy was done after 2.5 days. I don't blame him, this trek is a lot tougher than we think. Oh, and by the way.... i don't think he'll be sharing a tent with Al anytime soon...the dead rat seems to be a constant companion on this journey. Good times.

Al's currently in Connecticut...less than 700 miles to go. He says he's ahead of schedule.
