Michael called yesterday.  He was in Vermont where the Long Trail and
the AT meet, 45 miles from New Hampshire.  He should get to New
Hampshire on Thursday.  He was 480 miles from Mt. Katahdin in
Millinocket, Maine.  He said it felt good to be under 500 miles from the
end.  Of course he will hike the 81 miles he missed when he came home
for Mom's funeral and the 53 miles he aquablazed as we travel south. 
He said the weather is HOT and HUMID.  He said he had a bandana tied to
his backpack.  The bandana didn't touch his skin.  There was no rain.
When he stopped to rest the bandana was wet from humidity.  We can all
identify with his weather conditions.  I guess it could feel worse if we
were walking up and down mountains 25 miles every day.  lol
 

A story Michael told me...He hung his shirt on a tree limb and a chipmunk
ate holes in it.  He is sending the shirt home and told me he wants to keep
it just to show how wild and dangerous life is on the AT.  lol
