Just to update everyone that has followed some of my posts on my son Will. He is going to finish the AT tomorrow on his 24th birthday!! emoDance He has hiked 2000 miles through a lot of bad weather and stayed on schedule. His goal was to finish on his birthday and he is going to do it - YooHoo! emoApplause If you see a family on Sunday or next week with a tall bearded skinny guy chowing down at a local buffet that will be us and him! His only request when we pick him up on Saturday at Springer Mtn Ga is to have two large sub sandwiches ready for him!! :bobber7: emoHungry Haha!
Here are some of his recent posts on Twitter and some pictures.
