At Long Last

He did it! At long last, AT for CZC has arrived at Mt. Katahdin, Maine. After almost 180 days on the Trail, Matt and his hiking partners have successfully journeyed from Springer Mountain, Georgia, to Mt. Katahdin, Maine. And though he plans to circle back and hike the portion he skipped in Pennsylvania, what a tremendous accomplishment to have come so far.

Much like a good deal of this hike, besting Katahdin was done without much fanfare. Matt reports that the five mile trip was "quite a challenge," nearly straight up hill. Additionally, he reports that it was beautiful, "without a cloud in the sky." He took a ton of pictures, so be sure to check back in to see them in the near future.

Looking ahead, he is currently back in Monson, Maine, celebrating with his co-hikers before he begins to make his way south. I'll be in touch with him over the weekend to plan a visit to see me here in Rhode Island. I look forward to hearing more of his stories and am sure that he will use this blog as a place to reflect on some of his experiences on the Trail.
