My hike is like the Lord of the Rings. But which of us is Frodo/Sam? Hope I'm Frodo so Kooper carries me & my burden up Katahdin.

hmm, @kooper brings up a good point. His miles should count too. So I now have a blue progress bar for a new goal of 4356 miles/dollars!

First day of hiking I've enjoyed since... Virginia? Fantastic weather & scenery, no road crossings. Entered Mass & passed mile 1500.

is sick. Strange since lately I've only had tap water and eaten at restaurants/convenience stores. I think I'm safer in the woods.

It was a marathon hike (26.2 miles) but I made it thanks to cloudy skies and trail-angel Mossy Brown's cold drinks & slackpack.
