Exciting day today.

I was at the CMC's 100-year anniversary party, volunteering and catching up with friends. 

Glen headed out on the AT to complete a section of the trail that I've backpacked, and he hasn't done. 

Up in Maine, two of my favorite hiking friends summitted Katahdin today, one finishing the AT! They've been in my thoughts all day.
