Quick stop in ME

Hello All,
Well I past the 1000 mile mark yesterday. Just a months ago the idea of hiking that far was almost unimaginable but here it is. Only 141 miles to go to summit Katahdin and then off to D.C. for a little rest and food with Lynn, Matt, Cole, and Mahalia. I should be in the 100 mile wilderness in 3 days. Heavy pack having to carry out that much food but I should be beautiful. Did my longest day yesterday. Started at 3 a.m. to climb to the top of Mt. Avery to watch the meteor shower and then the dawn. Pushed on from there to get 25 miles done before dark. Going a little slower today but that is to be expected. Off to the trail again. Hope everyone is well.

  1. WOW 25 miles in a day--you're no longer Farmer AJ, you're just SUPER AJ. Way to go guy. I'll bet the meteor shower was great without all the city lights. Glad to hear you've recovered from the flu. Hang in there!
