Hello Alley and All,
Well, I finally crossed the Kennebec River in Maine and am staying at
a hostel near Caratunk with Aussie and Wing-Heart. We now have only 151 miles
remaining and plan to summit Katahdin
Peak some time in the next 12-14
days (weather permitting). We are hoping to beat that schedule, but one never
knows. We plan to visit Ramblin (Dave) Rose, my early hiking partner in Georgia
and North Carolina as we pass by Monson (before the 100 mile wilderness). Ramblin
Rose has asked us out to his horse farm (Riding
Academy) for the night so we will probably take an extra day at his ranch. All
is well and we are feeling great. Hope to see all of you soon. We surpassed
the 2000 mile mark the day before yesterday and I have some fabulous picture I
would like to show you upon my return.
Thanks for your support - you have all been the greatest support for this Walk
for Alley.
I miss all of you and will see you soon.
Regards,
Castanets (Jim Schiwal)
