You're getting so close Rick. So tough trails ahead, but you are going to complete it. Pulling for you man. See you soon!

Sounds so close, but we know better!

Just keep putting em' head, one step at a time. Anyone who has done just a trail with me knows - and keep upright! You can do it!

Just read Rick's logs through yesterday, 8/28. While he knows there's some up and down treks ahead, I like and appreciate, in an odd way, when he comments about putting one foot in front of the other in a somewhat "hyptnotic" trance. Back when I was a lot younger, I used to feel that way each winter when a group of us used to lug our gear and ski into Daicey Pond in February each winter. While that effort pales at Rick's huge effort, my sense is that he'll make it to the summit of katahdin, even if he does it on his hands and knees! Let's keep Rick in our thoughts and pull for him to make it. Not sure how often he checks this site but when he does....GO RICK GO! I know you'll make it for sure!!

Thanks, Dubord. I haven't been able to get onto the Trail Journals sitre for a couple of days. Your post alerted me to the fact that it's open and Rick has more entries.

Yeah, like walking to Fort Kent and back from Waterville over a couple dozen mountains! Piece of cake! Rick will make it!

Just way too impressive.

The trek so far is amazing. I would have been on my hands and knees day two. 20 miles in a day, amazing. I am so impressed.
