MAY 2003 EASTERN TRAIL NEWS:

Leonard "Chip" Jahnke, 65, of Friendship, left May 12 from Calais on a marathon bike ride that will finish in Washington, D.C. The ride promotes the completion of the East Coast Greenway, which will include 327 miles in Maine, and including the Eastern Trail.  about 29 of which have been completed in Calais, Augusta, Hallowell, Brunswick, Yarmouth, Portland, South Portland and Saco.

Here's some pictures of ET supporters and the ETA Banner greeting Chip at several key points along the Eastern Trail.  First at the Dunstan River crossing, then later in Saco at the ETA office, and finally at the Kittery bridge as Chip left Maine and headed south into New Hampshire.  Click on any of the small photos to see a larger image
