Half Way!!! Half Dome

I passed the halfway point in miles today- 1,092 miles (most on my south bound trek). "Run, Forrest run!" Shawn and I left camp early and met up at the rainbow ledges with a beautiful view back to Mt. Katahdin.

The trail wasn't too difficult so we pushed on for a total of 12 miles to Wadleigh Pond Rd. Shawn was overcome with emotion for home and his girlfriend. He loved the trail, but missed his girlfriend more. We flagged down a couple of fishermen and Shawn was off to Blacksburg. This is the 4th or 5th person I have paired with and separated from so far. The trail takes its toll and everyone must hike their own hike and follow their own calling.
