I am officially NOT a Thruhiker. After 2089 miles this year, I got off 90 miles short of Katahdin. I simply realized that I had done this section before (SOBO '08) and didn't feel the need to do it again. Most folks would have, but I'm very happy with my section hike. As much as it would be nice to have a new photo on top of Katahdin, I knew that my knees couldn't take hiking back down.
