A.T. Walkingstick almost at goal

“Well, I know some of you are aware of my little pet project. I created a walkingstick and set it off from Springer Mountain with a random hiker - the goal was to be pased from hiker to hiker and travel the length of the A.T.

My last contact with the stick was back on May 30th, and after 3 months of not hearing a word - I was about to write it off as missing in action. I was even going to acquire another piece of wood to try making another walkingstick.

However, out of the blue - I got a letter yesterday. The walkingstick has traveled 1,887.4 miles and is now located at the New Hampshire/Main Boarder. The current hiker plans on keeping it till the end and is only 200+ miles away.

Take a look at its progress and all the updates to the webpage:

“That's pretty cool! Congrats!”

“Waaaaay Cool!”

“Good job. I look forward to your post when the "stick" completes the AT.”

“Yowza!”

“That is great! Thanks for keeping us posted.”

“Maybe I should sent my Komperdells off while I'm laid up.”

“Pretty cool idea. How do you know it didn't 'yellow-blaze' to Maine?I can't really read the scans of the postcards.”
