I haven't actually heard from Michael since Tuesday so I haven't had any news to report. I received a post card today. It is a picture of Mt. Katahdin. Just a short note to say he would see me there soon, he is ready to be home and he and Wiffle are moving on. I read on Gumpy's trail journal that All Smiles and Wiffleball had caught up with them. They all met up in Monson, Maine at a hostel last night. He said Michael and Wiffle had walked 27 miles yesterday. I received a message from Wiffle that they had hiked 32 miles. Either way that is a great accomplishment. I am so proud of them for pushing so hard to catch up with the crew after taking a day off the trail for Wiffle to recover from the virus. They are all now heading into the 100 mile wilderness. According to what I have read there is no cell service or any other means of contact in this area. I probably won't talk to Michael until the end of the trail. I am flying to Bangor, Maine on Friday. Wiffle's parents are picking me up at the airport. Branden (Skeeter) will be staying here at the house. Michael and I will return around Labor Day. I will be sure to give you an update when we return. If I happen to hear from Michael or find out any news before I leave I will send an email. Thanks so much for your continued support. You are great friends. Sheila Wee
