Day 186 - FINISHED! Officially a Thru-Hiker!

(A Final note from Tech Support: It's been a while since Reflex has begun her readjustment back into the world of technology, luxury, and roofs; but we just realized that we never posted the most important thing.  When she FINISHED the trail!  Here's the post for this monumental achievement, and her victory pose.)

Tuesday June 19th Sam's AT Mileage Tracker: Day 72 - Mile Marker 656.1 to 668.5 to reach War Spur Shelter Napkin had to go back north today, so she left Reflex at the same spot that Reflex and the Tech guys attempted to do a few years back.  Turns out all of our complaining wasn't for nothing- Reflex thought it was quite a tough section even for her seasoned legs!  No wonder! There she goes! Some shots along the way.     A feathery companion Reflex met on the Trail!

(A brief note from Tech Support and Napkin: Everything has become a little jumbled for a lot of reasons so sorry for the delay.  We have reconstructed the time line as best as we can.  Dates are off depending on when Reflex sent the pictures and info.  The weather has been atrocious in PA with lots of flooding and workarounds just to stay on the trail.  However, as they say in showbiz, the show must go on!!  This is a THREE-part post, so don't miss the other two! Enjoy!) Wednesday, July 18 Sam's AT Mileage Tracker: Day 101 - Mile marker 1065.7, crossing the  Mason Dixon Line into PA.  Reflex has made it to her HOME state! Some railroad tracks and pedestrian bridges.  Everything is so pretty here!   Thursday, July 19 Sam's AT Mileage Tracker: Day 102 Reflex got to stay at a shelter by herself for the first time on the Trail.  Hard to believe that this is the first time she was by herself!  First, she got some cl...
