Last night at Neels Gap was rough - winds up to 60mph, horizontal rain. People said it was the worst storm in the area in the last six of seven years. Matt said that he could have been in a hostel with satellite TV, which is the option he would take in the future if presented with the same scenario. The tent and Matt are still in one piece, but it was definitely a learning experience.
Matt is camping at Low Gap (2133.5 miles from Katahdin, 41.1 miles from Springer) where Verizon cell phone reception is excellent.

Well Matt, you've had your initiation and survived so you're a certified through hiker. Hope your weather stay's better then ours here.

Matt, Team Ithaca is behind you. Heck, the farm team in New Orleans is literally behind you. Watch out for low dripping rhododendron. We're all waiting to hear just what equipment you're using.

My mother-in-law has hot soup and a warm bed waiting for you up where the trail winds through the Berkshires. Only a few more miles to go ...
Good luck
