Some of those I remember most form 09 was Hodge Podge, Single Speed, Slag Line, Doc, Hutch, Crank, Jerimiah Johnson, and Wendy. I hiked with these folks more than others.
Quick story:
Made it to the 501 shelter and spoke to an 18 yr old kid there who said his trailname was "Drop Off". I asked him how he got that name and he said.....
"Well, I was living at home and hadn't been treating my parents too good when all of a sudden they said "Let's go on a road trip". About 300 miles later I started thinking "Military School". Then my Dad pulled the car over at a trail head, opened up the trunk and threw out a loaded backpack, hiking poles, and boots and told me- "When you get your head screwed on right you can come back home". Then they drove off."
I looked at him, smiled, and said "Man that's a great trailname". Never will forget that story.

Red Legs, cuz he was an artilleryman.
Early Bear had a run-in with a bear early in his hike.
Storm, abbreviated from ***** Storm, cuz for a while she made a lot of privy visits.
Poppins, abbreviated from Mary Poppins, cuz he seemed to have one of everything in his pack.
