Alan: Yesterday, my 19 year old son compled the Pacific Northwest Trail, walking 1200 miles from central Montana to Washington's Pacific coast.
Danny (aka Caribou/Strider) left Montana on June 17th, 2017 and reached Point Alava on July 30, walking over a "marathon" a day.
Last year Danny and I climbed Maine's Mt. Katahdin, the peak of which is the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail.
Danny "bounced all over the place" during his six months walking the AT, arriving at Mt. Springer, Georgia, on December 18th, a journey that culminated with a harrowing sub-zero, snow-swept, "no-one-else-on-the-trail" trek through the Smokies which - at the time - were sometimes ravaged and often threatened by The Gatlinburg Fire.
My hat is off to this remarkable lad!
