Today was the last day before we would summit Katahdin. Skippy, Thunder, and Daytripper will be with us on final day which is just incredible. Today we had an easy 10 miles into Baxter State Park and to the base of Katahdin. The campground at the base of Katahdin is called Katahdin Stream Campground and thru hikers stay at a special place within the campground called The Birches. We registered with the Baxter State Park ranger as northbound thru hikers summiting tomorrow. She told us to be prepared for cold temperatures in the 30s with high winds. There is a front that is going through tonight but is suppose to clear up by tomorrow afternoon. Kristen and I can only hope for a good day on the summit. The ranger gave us our offical numbers for northbound thru hikers successfully completing the trail this year. Kristen was 347 and I was 350.
Tomorrow we will have successfully thru hiked the AT. Kristen has been saying at day number 177 of our trip means vacation. We can't wait!
Last night on the trail
