    On my recent hike from Amicalola to Neels I saw Hungarian and The Medicine Man in the Springer log. I saw Skeeter, Spoonful, Clemson, Sweet Tea, and Carat a day or two out (finished by now)

    I finished my flip-flop on Fri 14th with Fjord & 6-toe. Silver Potato and Cracker were a day behind on the 15th. Saw on trailjournals that the SunDay, Sweetwater, Little Fly crew finished yesterday

    I guess I'm a little late for this forum, but thought since I'd found it that I would add a few names. Duckie and I (Turbo) finished on October 16. We were hiking with Moose until just north of the smokies. He finished a couple of weeks later.

    Default turbo, duckie, moose

    hey turbo, say 'hi' to duckie & moose for me, if you have contact info. i met them at the start (sobo) of new hampshire. i was up eeaaarrrllllyyy (3:30am) so i could watch the morning wake from carter-moriah, and it was more worth it than i can explain. / i left them that morning in rattle river shelter. i thought hiking sobo would cure me (i nobo'd in 2001), but ... i think i'm lost for good, now. oh, the happy sighs are numerous. take care, Austin

    Austin, we (Silver Potato, me, & my wife Cracker) met you at the shelter south of Gorham. We stopped and had a snack with you. We knew Duckie, Moose & Turbo as well but they finished way before us...those young whippersnappers....

    We finished the same day as Singer & Land Surfer (flip floppers).

    We miss all our fellow SOBO's and the NOBO's we met.

    Hey Turbo, Remember Warraghiyagey and Vonfrick. We saw you up in Monson and points north and south. Maybe even gave you your trail name.
    Glad to hear you climbed Springer. Lookin forward to hearing about it some time.

    Warraghiyagey....Don't think I'll type that out again. I met you in and Von Frick in Monson and Stratton,Me. I hiked with Pounce,Wyrm,Sunny Brown, and Achuckmuck. Also hiked with Chef. You passed Sunny, Achuckmuck, and I with Von Frick like four miles south of Stratton. We were hung over and found a "not so stealth spot" right next to the trail.You were getting water. I see..... you don't remember us. Oh well. Pounce, Chef, John Y Cash, and I finished on Jan 13th.

    Hey Austin, I believe you and I met up in the 100 mile wilderness at the Cooper Brook Falls lean-to on June 29. I didn't have a trail name yet, but I was hiking with Kyle (Crazy Feet) and there were several other hikers there also. A sobo named Steve and a couple of Nobo's who had perviously hiked the PCT. I will tell Duckie and Moose hi for you.

    Silver Potato and Cracker, glad you guys finished. It was good to meet you.

    Warraghiyagey and Vonfrick, Yes I remember you both! Good to hear from you. Thanks for the trail name! And for the heads up about many points south! I'm still figuring this site out, but I'm glad to be finding so many people that I know on here.
