This is the forum where I first met Baltimore Jack long ago in 2006 and who gave me much sage advice in the forums as I was a newbie trying to plan by 2007 hike. I faithfully read his resupply, took a lot of his advice in the forums where he posted, and also got to meet him many times over the last ten years. When I journeyed on my southbound hike into Damascus, he was there and gave me advice on the Smokies. Jack was a great friend of the trail and hikers. He will be sorely missed, esp at the next ALDHA I plan to go to in MA. It won't be the same.
The last private pm from here he sent a while back was after I lost my beloved dog. He wrote : I am so very sorry to hear this sad news. I've buried many a pet and it's never easy. I hope, in time, you decide to get another dog, it sure sounds to me like you'd be a great owner.
