Rocket Rick, Firefly and I just arrived in Monson, the last trail town on our way to the final push to Mt. Katahdin! It's a great day to be off the trail due to the weather - rain has socked everything in. We are here for our last resupply as we prepare to walk into the 100 mile wilderness...trying to decide how much food to pack that will get us through the wilderness and up to Mt. Katahdin.
Pleasant surprise: turns out we passed Burley, Malarky and Shepard and bumped into them in town here in Monson...another fun reunion. Also heard that Shofly and Nero made it up Mt. Katahdin yesterday and OTT & Battle Cat made it up around the 6th or so!
Please think of us during this final push! Will be leaving Friday morning and will not be in touch until we make it to the top! Thanks everyone for your great support - it really helps to hear from everyone!

P.S. Nurse Ratchet and Dr. Rocket did a great job and yanking the crusted stitches out of my arm a couple of days ago...sitting on a rock next to a beautiful pond, listening to the loons.
Can you believe it? To see a picture from the top at Mt. Katahdin is something else. You are a true hiker and thanks for your blogs. Picked BC and OTT up and now home. What an adventure for you all. Hope everything is healed and enjoy the last mountain! BC's mom
