Getting to The Sign
My son captured the moment I approached the sign atop Katahdin. I am not usually that emotional but certainly was this time.

Congrats Chinmusic. I cried just watching it. I can't wait until I can touch the sign. Thank you for sharing your journey
thank you,cm
Awesome! Congratulations!
Why did you get so emotional? It's only walking and walking and walking and walking and walking........................................... ........................................
I really didn't see that happening to me. I started to "fall apart" with about 2-3 miles to go. Some of it was being so proud of my son as he helped pull me up some difficult sections.

Actually, it's a major achievement considering in today's American culture how little the population walks.
Congrats CM for living outside the confines of the box.
Great story. Congrats
That was awesome your son was there with you! What you shared will be taken into eternity. My two younger brothers drove up from NJ and NC on our summit day me finishing up my thru. LOL. As good a shape as they were in I helped them up the difficult sections of Mt K. Then we took the Knife Edge back down. That feeling of exhilaration on the Knife Edge with my two bros I felt in the crisp Oct air with the colors of Fall below was truly something I will take with me into eternity too.Originally Posted by ChinMusic
Ok....you made me cry. Congratulations, Chin.

Congratulations Chin, you're a true inspiration to all of us older folks who are planning a thru.
You should post a link to your trailjournal, I found it to be a great read and great photos too.
You made it, congrats!
Congrats, cm!!
Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.

I can understand the emotion completely. It's been over 6 months of total dedication to the task and now it's done. Did you have any thoughts of heading back to Springer?
Congratulations! One heck of an accomplishment. Is there another LD hike in your future?
