Maine Update
Trill’s brother Ben has joined him on the trail at Stratton, ME and will hike with him to Monson. From there, Trill will have the 100-mile Wilderness and the climb up Katahdin on his own. Almost there! Ben normally does the updating to this site so you may have a few days of slow news but he will have lots of pictures later! Can’t wait to see if Ben acquires a trail name during the week. It didn’t take me long to get “+12″ but I had to work at it.
Katie Beasley has updated Trill’s hike in the Auburn Plainsman again. Thanks Katie! Here is the link to the latest article.

Keep the prayers lifting. He plans to summit sometime near the end of the month. Trail magic is still happening thanks to DaleAmerica and others that Trill doesn’t even know about yet. The journey has truly been the destination.
Trill,
Welcome to Maine! I have been following along and extend a hearty congratulations to you. BTW, the quality of your photos is incredible!! You may be interested in knowing that Dynamite, Time Traveler, CJ, Fester, and maybe Sinker are taking it slow from Monson and are planning to summit Katahdin on Friday, July 25th. Hit & Miss are planning to summit on July 24th.
May the Lord guide you safely through the homestretch,
Karen
Check out that beard. You are really becoming famous in the Plainsman. Can’t wait to have you back and hear it again from your own lips.
We miss you and know you are making memories for a lifetime.
