They're feeling a little superior

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) - September 20, 2010

Sixty-four-year-old Mike Link and 60-year-old Kate Crowley have finished their more than 1,500 mile walk around Lake Superior.

Their marathon hike took four and a-half months.

Over the weekend, they were welcomed back by 75 well-wishers.

The couple made the walk to celebrate Link's retirement.

They say the trek reinforced their faith in humanity.

Link tells the Duluth News Tribune he encountered only four grumpy people along the way.
