The Long Trail Day 29

by cyberhiker01 on 07/01/14

Laine is reporting again.  She spoke with Trevor around noon.  He had picked up his resupply in Montgomery Center and could not wait to tell Laine how much he had enjoyed the women in the Town Clerk's office.  He said they were some of the sweetest people he had met in all of his travels.  Thank you, Linda and Renee and the others in the office!!  You all made his day so very bright.  Trevor is just 23.3 miles from Journey's End and on schedule to arrive Thursday morning.  He said that although he is very focused to remain mentally engaged with the rest of the hike, he is starting to crave certain foods that have been absent for the past month.  High on his list is a multilevel chocolate cake, a Starbucks coffee, and a dinner at Smashburger with fried pickles. He met some people hiking southbound who told him that tomorrow would be a challenging day, and that the final full day of hiking would be much easier.  We are hoping for signal at some point tomorrow as this adventure draws to its end.

The team hiked the CT to raise money & awareness for his charity, Team FarSight FoundationInc., which Trevor founded in 2014.  Its mission is to empower blind children & youth through the development of hiking & other backcountry programs.  The goal is to teach participants problem-solving skills & give them the confidence they will need to be both productive & competitive in all aspects of their lives.  Additionally, the foundation is working to break down barriers between the sighted & blind communities and to challenge societal misconceptions of the abilities of the blind.

Team FarSight Foundation, Inc. is a recognized 501(c)(3) charity & a One Percent for the Planet non-profit partner.  Please help publicize their hike so that they can continue the work of empowering the blind.  Thanks to all those who have already donated.  Donations can be made securely through the foundation's website:
