go squeaky! that dude's a badass!
stef- is he doing any night-hiking?
Nice pic and he looks to be in great health and spirits!
Night Hilking
Yes he is hiking I believe 14 or 15 hrs a day. I don't even go up my back garden when it gets dark.Originally Posted by the goat
He hitched in here yesterday from Dickey Gap, got a ride back out then continued on to Thomas Knob shelter. He'll be in sometime this afternoon and may continue on. He wants to be at Kincora on Friday.
How far is Kincora away?
Stef
50.2 miles south of Damascus.
What's his favorite kind of pizza or food? I live 15 seconds off the trail and at least hope to get a meal in him. He should be here in 5 or so days and will post when I see him. You should read the Conversation w/ Squeaky, Goat. Lots of Q&A about his trip, thoughts, attitude; its easy to see why his mum is so proud.

L. Wolf, you should try to snag him to have a pint over at Dot's. They do serve Guinness there, don't they?
Nah. Just Michelob Amber Bock. He may not want to stay in town tonite or drink a beer. I'm gonna go north on the AT in a few minutes for a run and see if I can bump into him.
Where are you at Nean, Allen Gap? I think I have Tuesday off. Stay in touch, maybe I'll be able to make it over.
Beer...............
Say hi to him if you see him for me. Doubt if he will have a drink only coke , he is not a drinker and has not had one since his birthday last Feb,, kind of you anyway.
Stef
P.S. His favourite meal is a Pizza, the larger the better, Thanks
Pretty darn close Sly, that might even be when Squeaky comes thru!
Just ran the 5 miles nobo, didn't run into him. Will try to catch him in town.
that is so weird. when i clicked on the damascus link, i saw my tent. its the green waypt II in the collage on the top of the page at the left. its from this years trail days. i was tented outside of the place.
A question for Lone Wolf?
Did Squeaky make it into Damascus tonight?
As of 7:00 PM last night he hadn't made it. He may have gotten in later. I imagine he's south of here now. Weather is sh***y. Rain and mid-30s.
this section is easy. i did it leisurely hiking into trail days last year in 2 days. im sure he'll have no problem.
He stayed w/ Seiko night before last in Hampton. If he's not going in at Miss Js tonight, 75 miles south- he's probably going past and will be here tomorrow night. I'm going to put out a SQUEAKY, PIZZA & PHONE <<<<< sign, at any rate. So far the weather's holding. When is Boxing day? the 26th? Do you know if he plans to stay in Hot Springs as the miles suggest he won't?
Stef,
I was watching "Appalachian Impressions" on the tube tonight and remembered something about Squeaky when they showed the signpost for the NC/GA border... the last state for Squeaky's sobo AT hike this year and in 2003. Anyhow, look under the 'A' in GA on this photo I took on 1 Nov 2003: http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/vbg/...=665&userid=41 . If you remind Squeaky about this, I bet he will get a special grin on his face when he sees it again.
