I'm currently off the trail for now. I decided to end my hike at the 815 mile mark. It was an awesome hike. I'll be spending the rest of my summer in Maine. You can read about the start, middle, and end of my hike here:

Chris Nadeau's 2011 Appalachian Trail Journal, Part of Trail Journals' Backpacking and Hiking Journals

Thanks to everyone who supported me along the way.
