  Heard from Adam tonight! He  had to white blaze , in a canoe, across Kennebuc River to get to Caratunk , Maine. They( Adam,Old Tomato, Apache and Rainbow) are  now only about 150  miles from the summit at Mt. Katadin. Adam says his beard is quite long after not shaving for many months and his body is very abused from the Maine mountains.They have having their last hostel hurrah and  are soaking in a hot tub before they head out tomorrow. 
He'll pick up his last resupply package in Monson on Friday or Saturday and then head into the 100 mile wilderness area. Phone service will probably be non- existent during that time until he hits Baxter State Park.  Hopefully, Yogi and Boo Boo will meet up with them so they can all summit together next Friday or Saturday. 
Gary and I are heading up there, champagne in hand, next weekend to meet him and bring our "mountain man" home.  Adam promises to share some awesome photos and stories once he is home.
