where the blazes end
i officially summited katahdin wednesday, october 11th, 2006 at 11:30 am. it was frigid, completely fogged in, and 50 mph wind gusts, and there were 14 thru-hikers at the top, surrounding the sign and collasping upon it, crying their eyes out and hugging one another, staring blankly at the one place they had been aiming for throughout the last 6 months of their life and trying to comprehend what had just happened and what was going to happen next. i guess it was one of those moments that will never leave you.
heres a photo of me, sarah (prana) and don (IROC) on the top, holding a sign for our two other best friends who had to leave the trail. i'm in the blue. :)

congratulations becka! you are amazing... i'm glad you accomplished your goal and safely at that. i am awe of your free spiritedness.. and so glad that you walked so long and far.. you are a great woman. Many people our age try to find themselves in so many different ways. We become drunks, over partiers, lost in our studies, lost in our significant others but you decided to walk over 2,000 miles and i think thats the most logical solution i've heard in a long time.
Best wishes
