My final full day on the trail. Woke up late and had a quick breakfast at the camp store, then waited for the restaurant to open and had lunch with everyone. Hiked the easy 10 miles through Baxter state park up to the Birches campground at the base of Katahdin. Most of us here are going to leave for the mountain at 2am for a sunrise summit.
Tonight at camp was the first campfire I've had in awhile. We had a time of reflection and reminisced over the last 5+ months of our thru-hike on the AT.
It's been a long journey. I feel fulfilled and satisfied. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's challenge - the final challenge - to climb Mt. Katahdin.
Staying at the Birches shelter.
Congratulations Justin great to see you so close to the finish line. Great to see Daniel also. Please pass on our congratulations to him as well. I hope the trip/journey has been all you expected it to be and more. Big cheers from the Sherpa Crew down here in Georgia.
