Happiness and contentment in life come from the merging of Opportunity and Talent. My Dad had Talent but no Opportunity so could not find a way to learn to play the Violin. I had Opportunity but no Talent -- I lack the physical ability to complete a Thru Hike of the Appalachian Trail. I failed to learn this lesson even after numerous section hikes, but in the Spring of 2013, after 41.6 miles hiking in MD and PA, I learned the lesson that Dad had in mind when he told me to "hike the Trail." This Blog is now about the Merging of Opportunity and Talent more than it is about hiking the Appalachian Trail, but I still plan to include snippets of the Trail in the Blog. It's about Chasing the Trail of Life. I hope you enjoy my posts.

This Blog is Dedicated to my Dad. Although he never accomplished his dream of learning to play the Violin, he did construct and play a Dulcimer at an Elderhostel.

The Ferryman of Caratunk, Maine

Steve Longley, known to the Appalachian Trail community as "The Ferryman" died peacefully in his sleep on March 2, 2013 at his home in Solon, Maine. He would have been 56 on June 22. From 1987 to 2007, Longley operated the Appalachian Trail Conference's Kennebec River Ferry Service where the trail crosses the Kennebec River in Caratunk.

Down East Magazine wrote an article about Steve in 2001. His SunJournal [Maine] Obituary is here.

 Rest In Peace, Steve Longley, thank your for your service to the Appalachian Trail community.
