War Eagle and Woohoo, Brandon!
The Lord has watched over your coming and going and we’ve been privileged to pray and watch from afar. We’re all wondering what your feet look like but we’ve got a pretty good idea we know what they smell like! Well done and welcome home-almost.

Congrats man! It truly is amazing what you have accomplished. It has taken an unfathomable amount of self will, determination, and both mental and physical strength that only a select few possess. You are obviously one of those few. Congratulations bro!

Trill, congratulations! As you know many folks start this journey, but very few reach Katahdin. No one should be surprised if you reach many more “Katahdin’s” in your life as other journeys succeed to this one.

Good luck for your future and God speed.

Brandon aka Trill … this is awesome! What an amazing journey you have had over the past several months! I have enjoyed your journey through your comments and pictures. I can’t wait to hear more about your life on the Trail. When does your next adventure begin? (Better give your mom a little time to get prepared.)
