Ya know Wak, when I met you two in Asheville to pick up Chacotaco, I was impressed with you. The first thing he said to me when we were headed out was that he thought you were an awesome woman. I thought so too. So glad it has worked out for you guys. If you ever pass through Sylva again, you are both welcome to stay in our backpacking room and hang out. Very excited about you getting so close to New England. Can hardly wait for the summit.

opps

I mean Maine!

thats why when we asked if you wanted to slack from little gap, Chaco looked over at Wak and they both gave each other this look.

It didn't mean anything to me at the time, but now I know it meant we are walking this together. or something like that. and no slack.

peace

Chaco & Wak, I love you. May you be blessed with great weather for the views.

Wakapak - congratulations on your milestone! Wak, I will never forget when I met you in '02 and laughing at the story of how you got your trail name and picturing you in that story. Good stuff.

And Chaco thanks again for all your tremendous help at the Billville "event" this year.

Wakjen and Colonel Jen, good to hear from you. If you'd like to celebrate with other wanderers, drop us a line and we'll come meet you. It's only a couple hours for us.
Peace

Congratz, Wakajen!! Col Chaco, I enjoyed reading your shelterlog entries in GA/NC/TN. It's cool when you find someone you know online at WB on the AT or even in the shelter logs.

**Jack Tarlin** · 08-12-2008, 23:25

Chaco, Wakapak,

Oh man, you had me going - I really thought you WERE about to announce an impending wedding!! Damn... Oh well, I've got faith in you guys.

Congrats to Wakapak on the insane mileage, and to both of you, for (presumably) summiting by now. What a great hike this has been! I summited on Sept. 26, am back in the real world, and missing the trail. However, it is nice being clean every day, and cotton never felt so good...

It was a pleasure meeting you guys, and good luck!
