R U hiking this year?
Btw... I met a girl who knows you too... Brooke. I forgot how ur name even came up, but yeah! It's quite unique, just like you!
I am. Leaving AVL march 30th, starting 4/1. Brooke! Great girl! Sucks she quit at like 1200 miles. I met her in Gatlinburg in fall '12 when I was walking in the snow. Are you the Hiker Mom that's been blogging on app trials? I just started blogging for Mr. Davis. Good man as well.
The funniest thing, I think, about the trail, is that I was almost always so inexplicably happy. Every night I had the most bizarrely cheerful dreams.

No, I'm not that Hiker Mom. I don't know Mr. Davis either. It would be fun to meet them sometime.
Yep, that's the girl I met that knows you. Brooke! She told me she met you in the Smokies, while she was there with her family. That's funny.Yeah, I'm sorry she didn't make it. I took her & her friend, Mini Pearl, to Atkins for their second attempt. They are fun!
I'll never forget one ur threads on here..it was a very popular one.LOL!
Have a great time this year on the trail & the best of luck to ya! Nice to "see" you again!
I liked having a unique trail name. Had been considering it in 2004/2005 but after doing some research and noting only one other Trillium on TJ who had hiked a section in 2005 then moved to the northwest coast, I decided in 2006 to go with Trillium. Never heard of another Trillium until the list of 2013 2000 milers came out and there was a Trillium on it. Wasn't me. Although I did start a thru-hike last year on April 5, I had to get off at Winding Stair Gap due to excruciating foot pain. Now I see the thread that Chair-Man started about another Trillium who is hiking this year and had an episode of near hypothermia. I wish her well. But it's rather disconcerting that we might be mistaken for each other since I will be back on the trail in mid April. Oh well, such is life.

Thank you! Maybe we can connect when I am close to you in VA? I'm interested to hear how I came up in conversation...

Sure, no prob. evan..
Have a great time out there... just give me a hollar when you get close.
Last spring when I was doing a section on the AT I met a thru-hiker who said that there was guy with trail name Bumspoon. He got it when he was sleeping in a shelter by himself and woke to a homeless person spooning him!
Heard of many "Maps"? people found I had one in my hands far too often! haha

Better a spoon than a spork.
Are you saying he's a Friend of Dorothy?Sounds like you two could start down the yellow brick road.
Thesis idea:
Oz was really a story about four friends on one of the first thru hikes, fictionalized and made understandable to lay people. Three of them took the trail names Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion. Much debate persists to this day whether Dorothy used her real name.
Awwww. Fat Mike, too?
I earned my name fair and square. Haven't heard of another one so far, and if there is one out there I hope it was earned as well!
I am confident that I will be the only Myakka in the logs.
I had to go back to 2005 to find another 2000 miler with my trailname. I guess I'm safe.
That would mean someone used a lyric from Picasso Moon.... no way.
Myakka Mules thru-hiked in 2012.
The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.
You never know which one is talking.
OMG! That I did not expect. Geez...................
Unless you're an old woman that's a hundred years old, hiking solo, and 4'6"...you get to be Baggins.
