A Grid-i-licous day!!
Yesterday my quest for the Grid finally ended! I started my first “list” in November 2003 but I can not remember when it was that I learned what a Grid was and when I actually began keeping track of it….maybe sometime in 2006? It’s been a most wonderful journey and I have made so many friends along the way and the memories of all my adventures will last a lifetime. There are a few who were instrumental in helping me reach this goal and I will always be forever grateful to you….its not that often you can find someone willing to hike Cabot four months in a row or head out to Isolation on a rainy April day. Trail Angels do exist! Thank you, thank you, thank you! So yesterday around noon time as I turned the corner to take my final steps toward Flume I was greeted by a large crowd cheering me on. Thank you to all who came! A beautiful day it was and how wonderful to celebrate with so many friends.
As with every end to something there is always a new journey to begin. On Thursday I will be flying down to Atlanta and will attempt a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail. This has been a dream of mine for many years and its hard to believe it will begin in just a few days! It will be nice to explore new trails and I am very excited to make some new friends as I make my way back home. I am hopeful that most of the snow down south will be gone by the time I get there….I have an online journal for those of you interested in following my adventures along the AT.

So…..I guess that’s all for now!
