The Wanderers made it!
My favorite hikers of the season made it to Katahdin. In a previous post I linked to a great article on this family. I heard of them through some other hikers during a shuttle and was really interested in meeting them. It was a family of three, Dad and two kids. I have pictured being that family of three hiking the AT many times with my wife and kid. The other interest was that the son was 12 years old. The age was very interesting, but as well his dad on this trip was home schooling him. I use to be home schooled so I thought it was great seeing someone take advantage of that schooling system.
I found out about there submit not through following them through their Trailjouranls, which I wish I had the time to do, but by the articles I was reading on Model to and his fourth thru hike. He mentioned, "Gear" the 12-year-old Wanderer. Well "Gear," also know as Brandon had broken his arm while on the trail. In Model T's article he says that the doctors told Brandon he had to leave the trail to recover. His response was, "No way!"
On September 28 the family finished their trip on top of Katahdin. .
