Camping at Katahdin

My family went camping at Baxter State Park this past weekend in Millinocket, ME. We went hiking, got stuck in a thunderstorm, ate lots of yummy food, kayaked and laughed. God's mysterious creations are incredible. We also met and gave a lift to three hikers who had just finished their long journey of the Appalanchain Trail. I kid you not folks. These three brave souls have been hiking across the entire Appalanchain Trail for the past 4 months. All were from diverse places, met along the way, separated, and managed to finish together. It was incredible to speak with them and hear their stories. One was a student, one a college grad and another a grandfather, anxiously awaiting the reunion with his wife and grandkids. They may or may not have been pulling our legs about this accomplishment....because we've only ever read of such things in books...but they were certainly smelly enough to be dubbed with the accomplishment, loaded with enough gear, and for the two guys, unshaven enough...so we believed them...they were most likely telling the truth. It was a very neat experience.
