8 years ago today I 'officially' completed the Appalachian Trail. When I

crossed the bridge over the Susquehanna River on that overcast, chilly 
day, I had completed the trail as a section hiker. On the west side of 
the bridge stood one Kahley Lubitsky to take my picture and give me a 
'2000 miler' rocker. How sweet is that? (And, Sloetoe has to tell the 
story as to why/how Ms. Lubitsky had a 2000 miler rocker for to give 
me.)  At the post office, I received a tape from Kay K. Harvey. I think 
it was Cake and Nirvana. I'm not certain about that, though. We ate 
lunch at the little restaurant there in the middle of town and I drank 
what I think to be my first Yuenlings. It was a good beer, for a 
non-beer-drinker like myself.  That night, we (Stoat, Pokey and I) 
camped in the only rockless area we could find in the woods several 
miles south of Thelma Marks Shelter.  Good times....damn good times.
