Up, Over, and Onward

Well, I summited Katahdin on the 24th with my friends Smile Train, Wimbeldon, and Flex. Trail Over. All of us but Smile are happy to be done and headed home. It's been a long trip. It's been one of the best things I've ever done. And I don't know where to start fleshing those last few sentences out, but I'll make some attempt in the week or so to come.

Flex's mom picked us up on the other side of the mountain and took us to a friend's lake house for a few days where we got to relax, swim, and sail around a bit. Right now, I'm writing from Flex's home in Warminster, PA where we are hanging out before parting ways.

You have to pay for internet time in NH, so I'll be brief. We've made it through most of the White Mountains, which were gorgeous, but my camera got wet several days ago. I'll be relying on photos from the guys I'm traveling with. One of them is Flex, who updates a blog at trailjournals.com (search for "flex").

No more easy miles from here out, but the views are great, and the company is good. Wish I had more time to expound.
