Monson, ME
I really don’t have much to say right now.
There are only 115 miles left of Trail for me to walk.
Crazylegs will (I think) roll into town today (as per a maildrop ETA I saw at Shaw’s hostel), so I will hike the 100-mile wilderness with him. And if he doesn’t come today, I may take another zero (zeroing today 
) to wait on him. There’s a nice hostel here that’s letting me do two work-for-stays; painted their front porch yesterday, and cleaning out the laundry room and other odd jobs today.
I may put up more pictures before 1 pm today.
Think of me on the 8th of July, for at noontime-ish I’ll be celebrating a series of moments and experiences that have changed me. And celebrate, with me, those experiences and moments in your life that have changed you.
PS – Mom, phone’s are surprisingly hard to come by around here, except payphones, but I’ll give ya a shout today somehow or other.

Dear Jon,
Around noonish, July 8th, I will lift a toast (grapejuice, no doubt), with you in spirit, —- “L’Chaim” (To Life!). It’s changed me also. Thank you for taking us all with you on your journey through your faithfulness in sharing over the months. Love and prayers, dear grandson, Grandma Diana

As always, I have enjoyed following along from my armchair. Thanks for all your efforts to make this available. Loved the new pictures. I will be on vacation in Ohio on the 8th but will be thinking of you and celebrating from Put-in Bay, Ohio on Lake Erie. Don’t let the completion of your goal dim the celebration of your accomplishment. Life is full of goals, just in different directions now. Love and Congratulations, Cousin Susie
