The Maine Event

We woke up with one thing on our minds. Maine. We had only a few short miles until we would reach the state line. It was a very exciting day!

Around noon we finally came to a sign that read: New Hampshire/ Maine State Line. It was an awesome moment for both of us. To think that we set out 5 months ago to walk from Georgia to Maine and here we were crossing into our last state. To say the least we are both quite proud. It is hard to believe that we have hiked through Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virgingia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and now Maine. Thank you feet!
This journey has been incredible thus far and even though we both are ready to be done (yep I said it--I am ready to come home) we are going enjoy Maine and the time we have left together. This is once in a lifetime for us!

Along with being in Maine it also means spotty cell phone coverage. So don't be alarmed if you don't see a post from us for awhile. We will continue to blog every night but we may not have service to post. Just didn't want y'all to get scared!

Ps. For those of you who are lucky enough to live by Walmart we have discovered the Great Value (Walmart Brand) Cherry Limeade juice packets. If you love Sonic's Cherry Limeade you will love this juice, so try it! If only we had some ice....




The state line, wooohooo!
