9/8 - Final Post Until the Finish

Al has only 36 miles left. When we last spoke it was a beautiful day and he was by a lake overlooking Mt. Katahdin where he could see Baxter, the Brothers and the whole ridge line. He's making great progress 19 miles yesterday, 18 today and he's scheduled to arrive at Katahdin Steam Thursday, between 2 and 3pm. He also can't wait to see everybody and do the last leg with his family.

9/4 - One Week Left

Yesterday Al was on Moxie Bald with 135 miles left, today he’ll be in Munson and then he’ll be starting the 100 mile wilderness. He’s still planning on being at katahdin stream on the 10th. Last Friday we picked him up off the trail in Sugarloaf, had lunch (he ate most of Kelly's too) and went back to the cabin only to find the water was shut off. So, that much anticipated shower Al was expecting never happened.

He took a zero day on Saturday because of the weather, and it was a good thing because on the bigalow's it was freezing rain, sleet and the ranger wasn’t letting anyone go up.
