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.
