On August 29, 2010, I summitted Katahdin and completed the Appalachian Trail. It is a gross understatement to say that my hike was an adventure of a lifetime. My hike far exceeded my greatest expectations, and completing it fulfills one of my wildest dreams. I will never forget the spring and summer of 2010, one truly like no other.
But my expectations were far more exceeded by the unfathomable amount of support that I received from my friends - both on and off the Trail. So many people helped me during my journey that I could never thank them adequately. And nearly 90 people donated to helping me save the Shuckstack lookout tower to raise a total of $3,200 - surpassing my initial fundraising goal by almost $1,000. While these numbers are impressive, I cannot begin to quantify the magnitude of the kindness of all those who so generously contributed.
Stay tuned for the remainder of my AT journals and all of my AT photos to be posted in the website.
Congratulations!

Congratulations!
It has been great following your progress for these past 5 months. When I hike in the Smoky’s or in WNC, I am inspired by the way that you have tamed the AT! Great job!

Congratulation
I also completed my hike. On September 16, 2010 I climbed to the summit of Baxter Peak.
It was great meeting you on the AT.
