The Only Wanderer - Larry Riddle - has been hospitalized in the hospital in Abingdon, VA with blood clots in his legs and both lungs... they are running tests. He has also been diagnosed with diabetes and the cancer which he already was aware of is spreading. I'm sure he would appreciate a call or visit from his hiker friends in the Damascus area. When I talked to him yesterday, he was running low on his cell phone minutes...but his cell phone number is 276-676-9317. He was told that his condition was very serious and could be life threatening if the clots went to the heart or brain. Please keep him in your prayers.

That phone # is not a cell #. It is his hospital room phone.

Praise God for that! I know it meant a lot to him. Have you notified any other of his friends in the area?

Just talked to Larry and he told me of Lone Wolf's efforts to notify the hiking community and that a thread was posted notifying everyone on White Blaze, I found it under hiker Locator forum and replied to that thread with the updated info that he will be moved either tomorrow or Friday to Abingdon Manor via Lone Wolf.....Thanks again Lone Wolf.
