Today marked the last zero day of our trip. We hoped that Daytripper and Thunder would catch up today in hopes that we would all summit together. King Crawlers's wife Joann was nice enough to take Skippy, Kristen, and I into Millinocket, ME to get a few things for the next couple of days. We were even able to pick up a few bottles of champagne for the top of Mt Katahdin.
We spent most of the day hanging around our campfire with the most amazing view of Katahdin and waiting around for Thunder and Daytripper. Sure enough, around 5:30 pm they came walking up to our campsite. The thought that we all met at the NOC in North Carolina is a bit hard to believe. Now we will all summit on the same day! All while we were catching up, we didn't notice a bear which was eating all of Skippy's food in his tent. His tent was only 50 yards away. Skippy didn't realize all his food was gone until he got into his tent for the night and noticed all the empty wrappers.
Mt Katahdin from our campsite. The lake got so calm you could see the reflection of the mountain in the water.

Kristen and Jason (Conan and Backwards)...
I have loved reading your blog over the past few months. I wish I would have commented throughout...but I suppose now is better than never. I can only imagine what an exciting and emotional few days you have ahead of you. You should both be so proud of this incredibly beautiful journey! Congratulations on such an amazing accomplishment. This will be a story for the ages!
Good luck on Katahdin!
