FORT KENT, Maine – Talk about a long hike.
A Florida man just wrapped up a six-month journey on foot from the Keys to Maine.
Doug Foos started his journey in Key Largo on Jan. 1, and on Tuesday, he reached his final stop in Fort Kent, Maine. He spent half a year on the trail carrying only the essentials.

“I got my tent, I got my air pad, I got food, I got my water filter, water; as little stuff as possible, that way it keeps my pack weight light, which lets me get more miles,” he said.
Foos calls it his longest hike ever, and now he’s got big plans: a shower, a couch, and some serious TV time.
