| Parkside at New Hampshire/Maine state line. |
This is Parkside, he started hiking February 17th. Parkside was the 11th thru-hiker to pass thru the Appalachian Trail Conservancy Headquarters in Harpers Ferry, WV. He drowned on June 16th in Pierce Pond, just 11 days from summiting Mount Katahdin. I never met Parkside and only knew him from the trail registers. It was very shocking news to here of his passing. His ashes were carried from Pierce Pond to Katahdin by his friends he was hiking with. He summited yesterday.
My heart goes out to all those that hiked with Parkside, his friends and family back home.
Rest In Peace Parkside
What a loving tribute from his hiker friends. What a wonderful resting place for this young man....gone too soon. RIP, Parkside, and congratulations on your journey!
