This past weekend Lucy ended her AT journey. She's had a great run
but she isn't allowed in Baxter State Park at the end. Plus we have to
ford some rivers and she hates water. If you want to say hi to this
celebrity and check out her impressive hind leg muscles she will be in
the Ithaca area for the next couple weeks.

From April 5th to August 5th 2009, I hiked the 2,175 mile Appalachian Trail (AT) with my friend Kevin and his dog Lucy. This blog highlights our adventures for the students of Groton and the rest of the world.

Thank you everyone that took the time to send us stuff on the trail. The letters and food were appreciated and added excitement to our days.

For every mile Mr. DeVoe hikes, he will be donating a penny to the Groton environmental science club, Generation - Z. Kevin will be donating to The Nature Conservancy. If you are interested in helping either cause, please fill out the form below:
