Hey, Y’all.

By 2019, I’d completed 2,100 miles of the Appalachian Trail. With only 90 miles to go, it was time to tackle Katahdin, the final summit. The thought of climbing it scared the bejeezus out of me. I’d heard stories.
Instead of jumping in on untested legs, I decided to get myself in shape by hiking the Long Trail in Vermont. I figured hiking 275 miles through the Green Mountains might give me a slightly better chance of getting up and down Katahdin in one piece. If I could finish the Long Trail, I figured, I’d have a harder time chickening out of going back to Maine (which had sent me crawling home in pain twice already).
