D4, M42 - Hogpen Gap, GA

Found a trail name I love, but this guy already has it... Renaissance Man. Said he would trade me, but only for my staff. He's got the right beard for it.


Met this amazing family doing the entire AT. Happiest hikers I've seen.

The Clements fm FL (Monarch, Diamond, Willey Coyote and Road Runner)


Enjoyed a spectacular sunset on Blood Mt with Scout group fm Dahlonega

Several times, Thomas drove an hour on very steep roads to take me to and from Reids Gap. The first day, he literally rescued me after a 21 mile hike from hell.  He was incredibly flexible despite my being almost 3 hrs late. Natalie is a SUPERB cook!!!

I even made everyone waffles this morning. ... using eggs from their chickens!
