My brother and his wife finally posted some pictures of the end of their trek of the Appalachian Trail. The terminus is on top of Mount Katahdin, a mile above the central Maine Woods. Their trek ended October 5th after beginning March 17 at Springer Mountain, Georgia.

This is the required photo with the iconic sign.
This was the required kiss for the "Canadian Geese"
A Maine woodland scene along the trail.
Autumn in Maine. Maine is very much like my part of Ontario, sans mountains.
The scenes of the forest and mountain recalled for me reading Henry David Thoreau's adventures into the Maine Wood. He visited Mount Katahdin in mid 19th Century. Here you can read some of his observations.

A note from my brother indicates they are recovering physically and psychologically from the end of their adventure. There was even a suggestion of another hiking adventure next year!
