From the beginning of the book, it was very clear that Bryson and Katz wouldn't finish the Appalachian Trail. This was forshadowed in chapter number one, when Bryson talked about the the walking of the entire trail as a rigerous challenge that few complete. This forshadowing to me means that he doesnt necessarily finish the trail, but pushes physically and mentally to do as well as he can.
From the very beginning Bryson set out with a goal to push himself physically and mentally. His task was simply to walk the entire AP Trail, and even though he didnt complete his goal of finished the trail, he accomplished what he set out to do. The relationships and the eye opening experiences is worth more to him in the long run than actually finishing the trail. I think that even thouogh he didnt complete the entire trial he will satisfied with the part he did complete, and take all his experiences away to make himself a better person.
