Post MST Day 2

by cyberhiker01 on 06/25/13

Woke up at 4am, as I have done for the last 2 1/2 months.  It was really great, but strange, to wake up in my own bed after such a long time in the woods.  I turned on my computer and began going through all of the emails and Facebook postings.  I am still in amazement at the number of people who have reached out and told me how much we have touched their lives.  It is very humbling.  I am trying to answer everyone who has contacted me and have either asked questions, given support, or offered well wishes.  This will take some time, so please bear with me.  After reflecting on our trek, I realized that it would not have been possible without the support of our fans and followers, our many trail angels, and our sponsors.  I cannot thank all of your enough for the support you have given us over the past 2 1/2 months. 

This trek would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors.  I would like to thank them individually for helping us make our dream a reality.  I want to thank Thorlo for assisting us with funding, many socks, and an incredible film maker to help document the event; Ahnu for all of our footwear, IT support, and continued financial support.  Thank you, Marmot and ExOfficio for providing us with the best clothing and foul weather gear for yet another expedition.  Thanks, Granite Gear, for all our packs, dry sacks, and Tennille's gear-- thanks for supporting us from the beginning.  Thanks to Big Agnes for our tent, sleeping bags, and sleeping pads.  Thanks to SOLE for providing us the best insoles, flip flops, and camp shoes; Katadyn for all our water purification needs.  Optimus Stoves, for cooking gear so we could cook the food you provided us from Alpine Air and Natural High.  Thanks, Leki, for once again providing us with the best trekking poles on the planet.  Camelbak, for our water bladders and bottles.  Thanks to Buff for outfitting Tennille and m so stylishly with our doo rags.  Thanks, Revo, for once again supplying me with the finest sunglasses on the market.  PowerTraveler provided our solar chargers and power needs.  Thanks very much, Petzel, for our headlamps, and Ruffwear for Tennille's shoes, life jacket, bowls, and leashes.  I would like to thank Lizzy's Logos Embroidery for our custom embroidery work.  Last but not least, I want to again thank Guide Dogs for the Blind for giving me Tennille, and helping train the best Guide Dog in the world.  I encourage all of my fans and followers to support them as you have supported us.

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:
