Nimblewill Nomad Awarded Triple Crown

The 2008 ALDHA-West Gathering, held this year at Lake Wenatchee, Washington, was attended by over 80 hikers, including many of this years thru-hikers and 8 new Triple Crown recipients.

Nimblewill Nomad started the events Friday evening, after dinner, opening with insights, poetry and prose on the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of the long distance hiking experience. Other events were presented by some who spun tales of their adventures, demonstrated trail stoves and cooking techniques, recipes, photography, and a panel discussion on The Evolution of Long Distance Backpacking.

But the main event of the weekend was the presentation of the Triple Crown awards. Eight incredibly diverse hikers accomplished the feat of completing the AT, PCT and the CDT, among them the Nimblewill Nomad. The recipients stood and received their award plaques to the thunderous applause of the other hikers. This video was taken by Kevin Bear Spotter Clayton, as the Nomad received his award.
