It’s often the people as much as the places which mark a journey as memorable. My AT experience was no exception. I would like to extend a big thanks to my friends that helped out on the logistical front, as well as all the fine folk that I encountered along the way from Katahdin to Springer. I apologize to those that I have forgotten to mention; my memory, along with my knees, ain’t what it used to be:
Nancy “Why Not” Huber; Liz “Snorkel” Thomas; Carnivore & Purple; Ole’Man & Navigator; Ilene Trainor; Mac & Mike at Pinkham Notch; Beardoh & Sweet Pea; Bamboo Bob; Barbara at Salisbury; Greg “Malto” Gressel; Not Yet; Cindy Davis; Carry On & Eagle Eye; Neville & Michael at Woods Hole Hostel; Snowman, Fungi and River Dog; Bob Peoples; Elmer at the Sunnybank Inn; Will “Chimp” Hammond; Bob & Brenda Hammond along with cousin Jeff and, finally; Pirate & Lumpy at Neel’s Gap.
I would also like to extend my gratitude to the following sponsors who were kind enough to support my journey: Mountain Laurel Designs, Katabatic Gear, MontBell and ZPacks. The 12 Long Walks may be over, but I will continue to support these companies both through the blog and the website.

Whats next for you Swami? More coffee in bed?
Dear Mama Moab,
If more people had made me coffee in bed during my trip, I think there is a very good chance I would still be out there! In 545 days, the time I camped with yourself, Buck Mulligan, Captain Underpants and, of course, Utah, was the only time it ever happened! I shall be forever in your debt!
Cheers,
Swami
