Well, as I'm sure you guessed, we made it to Canada. I still can't believe we did it. We walked 2300miles from Mexico to Canada. It was our first thru hike. We both wore out 5 pairs of shoes, Bourbon lost 22kgs and I lost 23kgs (45lbs or so I think?). We walked in snow, rain, hail, lightning, scorching heat and crazy high winds. I walked with blisters, we both walked with tendon issues, and we still made it. We took a lot of zeros (I have no regrets, thru hiking is hard!). We met lots of amazing hikers and spent time doing a thing we love. I don't know if we will be back for another long trail in the US, but we will see. Maybe Europe next, or South America, or even Australia. Who knows. In the meantime, here's to all the people we met along the way, and all the people who have hiked long trails. You guys are legends. Thank you!

Thanks @toesalad ! I'm a bit bummed I couldn't do the last section as we went, but once we started pushing the big miles for the last 5 or 6 weeks I just couldn't find the downtime to write. I'm glad we finished, and I'm glad that I finished writing about it all (before all the details deep out of my brain haha)

When I am not working with technology, I can often be found in the backcountry; always happiest in the presence of mountains. In 2014 I successfully completed a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail with my three kids. I ...
