We are so proud of our Uncle Stephen. He started hiking the Appalachian Trail in Maine late July and finished on Thursday, December 6th. We all drove to Springer Mountain to meet him and walk the last mile with him. Charlie and Samuel had a great time with their cousins and it was great to have the WHOLE family together! Stephen-we are so proud of you and all you accomplished this year. We all hope that you learned a lot while you hiked!
Charlie and Elynn had so much fun together. 2nd cousins just a couple months apart! I think they will be good buddies!
We were supposed to have some warning that he was close. We were all sitting in our cars because it was so cold. Melanie looked up and said there's Stephen! No warning to be ready with our signs or anything!
Samuel hiked up the mountain about 75% on his own. I was so proud of him!
Stephen reading and signing the hiker log. The last entry he will be making!
The Cowan scout men
Champagne for the big finish!
Real boys pee in the woods, right?
Stephen and Mark (Monster was his trail name) started on the same day, became great friends, and finished together!
Stephen, what an accomplishment! We are so proud of you, thanks for letting us celebrate with you!
It was a LONG day!
