Day 139 10/1 23mi.

WE DID IT!!!!!! We made it to Canada!! After 135 days of hiking and 4 zero days we completed our journey from the Mexican border to the Canadian border!!

Chatterbox,  Dr. Huss, and I woke up and got moving around 8 it was another crystal clear day. We walked separately for the first 7.5 miles until we reached the high point of the day at 7000 feet. We all met up there and walked the last 7 miles to the border together. Just before the monument we got a good view of about 10 foot wide line cleared through the woods. So we knew that was the border and we were almost there. The three of us walked across the line into Canada together.

The best way I can think of to describe ariving at the border is a bittersweet feeling. It felt great to have completed our goal that we have been working towards for 4 1/2 months. But it also felt quite sad for the trip to be coming to an end. We had a lot of fun this summer, we had a ton of great experiences and met a lot of great people along the way. It was time for the trip to end and we're both glad we didn't have to deal with much cold, rain, or snow storms through Washington, or for that matter the trip in general. We've both been looking forward to getting home as well though, we can't wait to see everyone from back home. I can't wait to start a new chapter in my life with my beautiful finance.

We both feel really lucky to have had this great experience and want to thank everyone who helped us along the way, whether it was a ride to town, sending us food, giving us encouragement, or anything else, we wouldn't have been able to do it without all the support.

The trip as well as this blog are dedicated to our father who always encouraged us to spend time outside, exercise, travel, push ourselves, and have fun with life. He taught us to love nature and this trip likely would have never happened if it wasn't for him. He is also the reason I kept this blog he would have loved the idea of this. So thank you pops, this one was for you!

I hoped you all enjoyed reading about our adventures and looking at our pictures.
