Motorcyclists Ride Out To Honor End Of "Warrior Hike"


Bangor - Two former Marine Captains who have been hiking the Appalachian Trail since March to raise money for wounded veterans are about to wrap up their journey in Millinocket, and they won't be there alone.

Tuesday afternoon, a group of motorcyclists left Bangor and headed to Millinocket to meet the men as they end their mission.

The entourage was escorted by police all the way.

The Warrior Hike has raised over $32,000dollars but several organizations say they will add to that total, presenting the group with checks at a ceremony in Millinocket.

If you'd like to donate, you can visit warriorhike.com for more information.
