This is me at McAfee Knob. This photo was taken at the same time that Lane was in
surgery at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville.


This is me meeting my inspiration, Bill Irwin. His wife, Debra, is to my left, and the
dog is Colby.



Dan Cruikshank of Granite Gear, me, and Paul Fitzner of Etowah Outfitters
(Both are among my gear sponsors)


Me and Sgt.Rock in front of Miss Janet's House in Erwin, Tn.


Me, Sgt.Rock, Hannah, Jacob, and Caleb preparing to hike.(Jacob didn't hike with us)



Caleb & Sgt.Rock at the Nick Grindstaff Memorial



This is a pic I took of the trail. Nice & sunny, no rain, and no rocks or other obstacles
in my way.



Me & Caleb crossing a series of bog bridges.



Picking some Bluegrass with some local folks in Bastian, Virginia.



Suspension bridge between Bland & Pearisburg, Va.



The A.T comes off the top of the mountain in the background, through the woods,
through the field, across a road, and through another field here.



This is a newt, one of the many creatures who call the A.T. "home".



Tyler & Hannah with "Baltimore Jack", only person to thru-hike the A.T. 8 consecutive
years in a row.




Now this is a freaky photo. "Buck Wild", owner of the flamed leg, thought it'd be cute
to see what I looked like with 2 legs. He's actually lying on the bed behind me, you
can see his other foot right behind my right foot.


The dunking booth at Trail Days.




This is something that Lane's grandmother (Cathy Miller) created. I like it~!



This is a plaque/collage sent to me by Cathy Miller &
Julie Milliken. It's framed and on my wall. They know
how to make a one legged hiker cry!



Frog on the trail.


Sunset at Logan airport in Boston.


Abol Trail at Baxter State Park. This is around the halfway point, and doesn't
really do justice to the severity of the trail.


Bullmoose at stump Pond in Baxter State Park.



Departing Boston-Logan airport.




Yep, it really happened...


Sunset on Mt.Katahdin.

Lane Milliken post-op, June 8, 2004



And since then, he's learned to walk!!


Don't this just make you so proud of Lane?


He's come a long way since this was taken in early March.



And so have I.
