I'm pretty jealous that you are getting to spend time with the ET crew.  That would just be awesome.

Brett how awesome to be visiting with Etgayle and crew,

I hope your adventures are renewing your spirits.  Fortis is a great trail name, you walk with a beautiful spirit by your side, of course you are going to talk about him!

Sammy, the family and I all hope you have a safe journey and we can't wait to read about your time in the wilds. 🙂

Thanks for taking the time to post, we have thought of you often around here.

Hey Brett,

Thanks for checking in.  Fortis is a great trail name- you do each other proud!

 

And I am jealous too that you got to hang with the ET crowd.  That good JuJu will get you safely many miles down the trail.

Hi ya Brett! Say howdy to ET clan for us. Happy trails to you, with Spirit Fortis by your side. Don't be surprised if you have a couple of golden spirits joining you. Not only do they like to take walks, but they sorta have a crush on Fortis.way-cool

Brett, sorry we didn't post until you got back on the trail, but it sure sounds like you are having a great time and meeting with a little trail magic.  We are jealous that you got to see the Fighting Illini shrine at Charon and Don's house, but we are so happy that they were able to get you clean, fed and back out there with a bunch of ET JuJu.  Take care of yourself out there, and check in when you can.

 

Thinking of you,

Hi Brett!

Just seeing this post now.  I JUST was showing Fortis's picture in the calendar to a co-worker and talking about you and Fortis!  How ironic is that!  Thinking of you on the trail...Happy Trails, "Fortis"!!!!

Tracy & Maggie - awaiting your arrival here in Maine in September!

Maggie was amputated for soft tissue sarcoma 10-20-09

Maggie lost her battle with kidney disease on 8-24-13
