Quick update:
I'm currently approaching Atlanta, GA on the Amtrak Crescent after an overnight train ride. My friend and fellow hiker Rockdawg kindly offered to shuttle me to the Appalachian Trail Approach trail about 1.5 hours to the north.
This afternoon I should be hiking on the AT again!

Quick update:
I made the trip from Millinocket to Wells ME and had a great day visiting friends there, including a visit to a fundraising craft show at the Wells Reserve at Laudholm (https://www.wellsreserve.org).
After an unfortunately extended overnight bus trip to Stamford CT (scheduled arrival 11:30pm, actual 5am), I drove a rented minivan to Graymoor Spiritual Life Center in Garrison NY, then spent the last three days hiking out and back 15+ miles per day and car camping to get to Stormville NY. It's been a damp time on trail, and I met only 4 other hikers the whole time - the northbounders should be well north and southbounders well south by now. This completes the section that I had to skip over on 22 May due to trail closure from storm damage.
I'm at the Countryside Motel overnight, and will drive to Philadelphia to visit another friend on Thursday. I expect to be home on Friday for a week before resuming my hike in the South.

Quick update:
I arrived at Baxter State Park on Tuesday, shuttled to the Appalachian Trail Lodge in Millinocket ME, then shuttled back this morning to summit Mount Katahdin, the northern terminus of the US Appalachian Trail.
Like the rest of the AT, climbing and descending Katahdin was more difficult than I expected (much more steep rock climbing), but it's done.
I'm taking a day off (zero) in Millinocket on Thursday, then visiting former colleagues and hiking the 25 mile section south of Stormville, New York that was closed when I went through. Then a week at home to get caught up on things before resuming my AT hike northward from Georgia to West Virginia.
BTW, Penguin is finishing her out and back hike on Vermont's Long Trail.
