Blufftonite reports from Mt. Katahdin

Relations of Blufftonite Sam Crisp shared his recent report from atop Mt. Katadin in Maine, when he finished hiking the entire Appalachian Trail:

Mission accomplished

4 months, 14 states, 2194.3 miles, and 515,000 feet of elevation gain/loss.

All I have in my heart is gratitude and love for all the people who visited me along the way, family and friends that supported me from home, and every person that has sent their energy, prayers, or encouragement my way during my AT thru-hike.
