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.
More later (with pictures),

Congrats! You're now the 2nd person I know who has done the whole trail.
ReplyDeletepsv- BAM is hiring like 6 people in the next few weeks. if you're wanting a job once you get home.
Johnny! I've been thinking of you the last couple days, and here I check your journal and find you've completed the trail! Ever so many congratulations. I'm having as hard a time as you are knowing what to say, though I think it's more excusable for you. :)
ReplyDeleteFlex's journal says "Junior plans to take the train to DC to visit friends before heading back home to Tennessee." That's you! Are the friends us!? I especially would love to see you.
Congratulations! So exciting; glad to see you're doing well.
ReplyDeleteYAY I remember sitting with you and Sarah a year ago or whenever it was and you said you were going to hike the trail and I kind of thought it was just a passing thought. But it wasn't!!! So exciting!
ReplyDeletei know it's late but: congrats john john! you're inspiring me to get back out in the wilderness again.
ReplyDeletei hope all is well and that getting back into the more regulated rhythm of life hasn't been too rough on you. :)
