Well, it's clear that Matt hasn't updated this in a while, and I haven't really either... sorry about that. Got to talk to him for a bit on Monday, and had a quick text exchange with him regarding his location Thursday morning as well. Service is apparently horrific in the Smokies... but that's where he is! as of Thursday morning, he was just outside of the Smoky Mountain Border, near or at Davenport Gap Shelter in North Carolina... 237.2 miles into the trek. The average is getting larger now.... it's figuring out to be 5 months on the dot. Speaking to him last Monday I know his ultimate goal is to reach Mt. Katadin between 5 months - 5 months and 2 weeks on the trail. And we all know Matt, once he sets a goal, he either reaches it, or surpasses it like none of us were ready for. So I know he'll make good on his word, and I know you do too. He'll finish this trek, this journey, this incredible goal he's made for himself, and when he's finished, he'll be better for it, and we'll all get to see that great guy we know and love. We're encouraging you from all over the East US and then some, love! Keep goin', One Speed.
