@etroutski I've been to Charlies Bunoin, stayed atop mount LeConte at the camp, really damn cold in the winter

@Reitheelf , Bad Idea hitch-hiked into Hiwassee, Ga. by himself and got picked up by a perv.
In retrospect it was a "bad idea"

@RootBoot22 ..... I am Scraper 11. Best trail names are those that are spontaneous from a situation or event that happened on trail. When I first set foot on the Appalachian Trail (smokies section) on 4 / 11/ 10 at 11:11 A.M. EST.....I was full of sooooo much joy and absolute AHHHH and wasn't paying attention to my footing. Not even a minute of being on trail, myself and all my gear on my back went down, scraping the whole front part of my shin from knee to ankle. Scraper 11. :-)
Are Tree & Moonpie at 0:15 in the Wayah Bald fire tower?

@TheFurnitureGuys
I was and am good friends with both Apostle and Padre. I am known as "Franklin" in Apostle's book.
