Almost There
Trill called on Tuesday to say he was beginning the 100 Mile Wilderness , 114 miles to go but who’s counting. Actually approaching the end of this amazing journey is bittersweet for him. He was excited Tuesday though for this next challenge.
Having this website has been fun for many of us tracking his progress and so many people have come to the site to check but not always posting a note. I thought it would be great for Trill aka Brandon to have a congratulatory note from all who have been checking in over the past 5 months. So sign on and post a quick note that he can read when he finishes and returns home. Thanks to all for your interest and prayers.
Yeah John you are right ! We all his french family are proud of Trill and we know how smart he is and how much we love him over here..So so many prayers for him and friends , all along his trip and now , so close to the end we send to him our sincere congratulations!! yeah ! We know why now he is “our real man”
…take care Bn and have a good end of trip, les Loriot’s sont fiers de toi ! Bisous XXXX french family
Congratulations, Brandon. I’ve very much enjoyed following your journey, especially the part that I knew. Good luck with the 100 Mile Wilderness, and I look forward to seeing you when you get home.
Hi Trill:
HOORAY!!!! No Pain, No Rain, No Gain, No Maine!!! (A direct quote from Jukebox)….I am certain you found the quote to be true.
I have enjoyed your AT journey via your blog. Don Juan/Jon Summitted Katahdin July 7th!!!! That was so wonderful for me. I can only imagine the joy you will feel when you see the Katahdin sign.
Blessings as you summit and blessings as you complete your education. Although hiking the entire AT is a complete education in itself. You probably learned things on the trail that can never be learned in a classroom.
Congratulation, Thank-you for perseverance, determination, and dedication!!!

Way to go Trill,
You may get to read this before I see you so just want you to know how very proud I am of you and for you. I always knew you would make it even when you thought I didn’t when I wanted to help with the planning. Sometimes your hard-headedness will be a virtue. Take it from a fellow Carbon-Head!
really enjoyed Maryland with you and Roundhouse and meeting many of your trail friends, the stories and the camaraderie.
Don’t dread the finish. It is only a milestone in the early part of your REAL journey. Life is the big trail on which you have traveled only a short way. My prayer is that “Trail Magic” follows you forever, that you are able to recognize it when it happens and that you have as much joy giving it as those have giving to you. I want to Thank all those reading this that have helped Trill along his way and provided encouragement through these blogs. It has touched us all.
I love you and very proud of you.
Dad

Way to go Bro. I had a blast hiking with you and getting to see close up what your daily life has been for the past 5 months. I hope Mt. K. is everything you’ve been dreaming about and more. Congratulations on your amazing accomplishment.
Brandon, Tomorrow we both may rest! I have emotionally traveled the 2174 miles with you. I am so proud of your persistence, your energy, your openness to enjoy the journey and your ability to dream big dreams and go forward to accomplish them. Congratulations on a job well done! I love you mom
