On March 30, 2009 at 5:45 pm on Wesser Bald Fire tower, I, Chaco Taco, asked my girlfriend Wakapak to marry me. And she said yes! We are both very happy to announce to our trail family and hope many of you will be able to attend our wedding in late April 2010 in Damascus, Virginia. Details will follow as we have them. Thanks to all who were there and congratulated us. See you all on the trail!
Chaco Taco and Wakapak

HAHAHAHAHA! no, and i'm not sure he knows yet either. Although we did seem him sunday while we were in Franklin at Miss Janet's before starting our hike to NOC! it was one of those truly random NS sightings! I'll have to give him a call and let him know!

See you at TDs right??

Yes I know Wak is awesome! Why do you think I asked her to marry me. Thanks to all of the well wishes. Haha had to shut off all computers and phones last night after the announcement. It was crazy.
Did post the announcement at Wesser Bald shelter and Rufus Morgan. Thanks everyone. We hope you can make it next year to Damascus

So Wakapak and I were in Damascus today gettin the scoop. We are more than likely going to wed there April 24, 2010. Still getting the details together just wanted to pass along the info to you all. Its def going to be a hiker influenced wedding and we would like as many of you there so we can show you guys off to our families. We realize that its really close to Traildays but hope some of you will pull double duty. We will post more details as they become available.

Jim Adams

why not come down for the wedding and just stay and hike till trail days?:)

Why not just have the wedding a few weeks later at trail days, then you will be sure to have all the hikers there?

also Congrats to Chaco on the Natl Championship!

:sun Outstanding! Always glad to see a happy young couple!

My daughter is getting married this July. Weddings are busting out all over!

Chaco Taco
04-17-2009, 21:11
There is a reason why we arent having the wedding during Traildays. One is that the B+B's will be full and wont be able to hold our families that are travelling great distances. Also, we dont want the whole hub bub of Traildays as the backdrop. Too much. There will be hiker traffic but not too much. The other day when we were in town, it was just the right feel for what we are looking at.
