A Porter near Sheerto Pokari on the 2008 Secret Spot Tilman Trek

This update was supposed to be the next 2008 Secret Spot Tilman Trek Reloaded dispatch...but there hasn't been any time...the last two weeks have been outrageous. Absolutely dynamic...in every sense of the word. It's been a time to make decisions...it's been an incredibly challenging time...and a time to work towards realizing beautiful dreams that, until recently, had seemed very far off. The end of May could be a particularly powerful time for positive energy to touch every part of the collective being. If you subscribe to the Secret Spot Seven Summits blog (www.phillmichael.com) ...NOW, you'll see exactly what I'm referring to...THEN! =^]
