Murphy, Mr. Cowpie, and Twisted Sister!

Just enjoying a few relaxing moments tonight, between work at the lumber yard, and work on the ScriptureSticks... So, I thought it might be nice to see, "Whatever happened to them!?!".

Through a quick search, this is the scoop...

"Murphy", aka Todd Murphy... You may remember my talking about Murph. He is a double amputee (lower legs), and is hiking the A.T.. We met Murphy at SHAW'S in Monson, Maine last year. What a guy, you'd love to be around him! Well, he didn't get to finish last year, but he's back out there! You can do a quick search for him on the net... try ""Todd Murphy", Hiker, A.T.", and you should get plenty of great articles, and his journal. Murphy has a great story, and I truly hope he puts it in print. Check him out!

"Mr. Cowpie", and "Twisted Sister"... Just use their names for a search, and you should be in pretty good shape. We exchanged "picture-taking duties" with them up on the Bigelow Range in Maine. (Thanks you two, the pictures were great!) We caught up with them for a bit, much further down trail, where they were hiking with Tengu. Anyway... seems that Twisted Sister had to stop her hike with a broken leg. But, thank God, she is all healed up, and she and Mr. Cowpie are back on trail! Mr. Cowpie is her Dad, and is also a children's entertainer. Type in "Mr. Cowpie" for that one!

Well... It lifted my spirits to see them all on trail! I hope you will join me in lifting them all in prayer for a safe and happy hike. Do you know of anyone else who is finishing this year? Any tidbits from the trail? Drop me a line, if you will, and please... God Bless you ALL!
