Congrats goes out to Lion King for tackling a long trail and documenting many of his adventures across the country.

Gotta give kudos to anyone who can span a thru-hike over 2 calendar years and hike through the winter.

Way to go!

Nope, sorry, according to the definition a thru-hike supposed to take one year or less. Kludos anyway! ;)

Thanks A!

I want to sleep for a long time, thats all.

Had to do a 30 miler and then a 14 just to finish in time to meet those who meet me at the end...Ken and Marcia, Squirrel Meat, Rik (My editor) and his Dad and John Fazel who gave me a really cool plaque.

In LA right now, having a party mon yana at Cat and Fiddle for any local hikers.

Come on out ya'll

Lost 65 pounds aprox...went from a sexy 312 to a sexier 245.:D


Lets see how long it takes me to gain it all back....

The PCT is still my favorite.

Will say more later, but i did enjoy learning about America from first hand experiance and interacting with all sorts of people all over the place.

That was cool.

The Northern most point on the ADT. Near Waterloo, Iowa, I think?
