Well this is it. The final post from base camp. It's about 9 in the morning here in CT and we'll be pushing off for Maine in about 20 minutes. I am so happy that the time has FINALLY come to start hiking. My dad is driving up with us and we're going to shack up at a hotel outside baxter state park. The next day we'll climb Katahdin and head south.

I'm very excited and it looks like we'll catch a nice break in the weather.
