Andover, Maine

Hey everybody today is August 28th & we are currently in the town of Andover, ME. Yep that's right we are in our last state of the A.T. Woo-hoo! :) With only 250 miles left we are slowly making our way thru Maine and trying to soak up the last few weeks. It has been such a journey & it will be bittersweet to be done. We made it through the hardest & most scenic part of the trail-the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Lots of steep rock climbs with spectacular views....many above tree-line. Maine has been beautiful so far as well. We just passed over the Baldpate Mountain on a sunny day. It was such a view & we have been blessed with fantastic weather the past week. Maine has proven to be difficult though...but we press on with the end so close in sight! :) We anticipate finishing around September 15th. Thanks for all your thoughts, prayers, & comments throughout this whole process. We have felt so loved & supported! :) This actually might be the last time I get to post before finishing...so until Katahdin- Share

Rutland, VT

Today is Wednesday Aug. 6th and we are taking a zero day in Rutland Vermont. We only have about 488 miles to go and we are looking forward to being done. Although we keep remembering to take it slow...since this is something we will probably never do again. So we enjoy each day we have in the woods. To be honest, the "real" world is not that enjoyable...too much stimulation, light, noise, and "unnatural" distractions. Anyhow we are trucking along and will be in Hanover, NH on Saturday. The weather has been really rainy & the trails have been muddy to say the least. We anticipate finishing somewhere around Sept. 12th or so and then will be heading back to Virginia to resume life as we know it! :) I have 9 minutes left on the interenet so I should go...but just thought I would share a few details..

Oh and by the way you have to do a little searching to find that picture of us...sorry! Just hit the previous button until you see our picture :)

Until next time...Share
