Katahdin
Getting Ready for the last walk... there is me, Sharon, Bill, Icky and Velvet having some breakfast.
The Last mile... or couple of miles! This is Icky's parents (Bill and Sharon), Lori and me going up to Katahdin. Icky and Velvet were going fast on the rocks. It was a little cold, but not to bad. The top was near and it was time to celebrate!
Gratuitous Victory shot. I had made it.... 6 months a lot of money and a lot of walking. To all those who supported and believed in me... thanks. To every one else, EAT ME! I said I was going to make it!
We broke out the Katahdin beer and the champagne (Dom Perignon). I felt proud that I had made it and a little glad to be done... but we had one last task.
The last task... to get off the mountain alive!! I let Icky and Velvet, the dumbass brothers, talk me into going down the knife edge. They were going pretty fast. Lori and I were going slow and Icky's mom was going real slow. they had to go back and help Icky's parents. It took us about 7 hours to get down. It started to rain pretty hard and Lori and I made it just after dark. Everyone else finished about an hour later. the knife edge was cool, but I had had enough... I just wanted to get of the mountain... instead I went the long way down. (and it wasn't easy) We all stayed in Millenocket that night and in the morning we said our good bye's and headed home.
