When I got to the Susquehanna River in Duncannon I had officially 
completed the AT. And, I never had any inclination to bailing. I had 
wondered if I would. But, when I crossed that bridge and saw Kahley 
standing there taking my picture...and, then giving me Sloetoe's "2,000 
Miler" rocker, bailing was the last thing on my mind.
