[pct-l] Squeaky's Triple Crown Attempt

[usaphilip at acr.net.au (Philip McHugh)]

Thanks Adam for the update. I was wondering if Squeaky was still on schedule 
to finish all 3 trails within the year, and this latest data suggests that 
it is still a possibility, as long as they let him start on top of Katahdin, 
in Baxter State Park. The closing date is fast approaching and has occurred 
before the middle of the month in the past.  Weather permitting, he has a 
chance.
Philip
