Thanks but after doing some reading it seems that this is not the same daypak/pack. The one I'm referring to was quite a bit north of where this guy was. Tarzan's journal over there mentions the daypack I met quite a bit. Oh...and thanks for the nice welcome. I find some some of the content on this site fascinating and am very glad to have stumbled upon it. You seem to be a fine contributor and a great ambassador. It's very nice to meet you!
Seems that way huh,Actually To barrow a phrase from Gary Blazer "I'm not really a hiker,I just play one on White Blaze"hehehe,nice to meet you too Sampson.Yes it is a great site,a one stop shopping,if you will.When I first came here,I received a very warm welcome,and try to just pass it on.Also was told that everything is here and that all the questions have been asked and answered,and that for the most part is true,on the home page(with a little bit of poking around),there is a tremendous amounts of cumulative knowledge here that is there for the reading,all good stuff,make sure you read the "Hike my hike hike damit" it's a WB favorite.Happy Trails Sampson,see ya up the trail,and as always,HYOH

Started March 17, got off at Waynesboro May 15. flip flopping July 26! Looking forward to seeing lots of new friends and old ones as well.
Like “Old Hiker” I unfortunately had to leave the trail ( May 17, due to an Afib Heart problem). My trail name was or is Good Penny. I met and hiked with a lot of interesting hikers young and old; Dos, Gumpy & Peeper, Kikker & Tree Cycler, Connect Four, Opie, Parmesan, Bright Flower, Kokapelli, Voltron, Wobbles, Detune, Big and Little Brothers, Kazoo, Bismark & Hopper, Zora, Mouse, Smitter, Damn Yankee, Zip, Spiderman, The Traveling Family, Mr. Wrong, Mr Fantastic, Rocky and Spice, Buddha, Coleman, D-Bag, BJ,TP, Bamboo Bob, Crooked Sticks, Provisions ( he was living in the Chestnut Shelter), Sweet & Low, Teflon, Easy, Sarge, Weaver, SOS, Kookie Monster, Cato, Miss Janet, Baltimore Jack, The Honeymooners, to name but a few of the wonderful people I met along my journey.
The only time I was concerned was during a Lightning Storm the second day I was on the trail. I was overwhelmed with the generosity and kindness of the church groups and trail magic & I had the time of my life and can’t wait to go back and finish what I started next April , as long as the doctors can fix my ticker. I can’t think of a better or more wonderful adventure than hiking the AT.
I now know why people return to do over. The worst day was having to admit to myself that the boots I had purchased for this trip didn’t fit and were not going to break in. Bought a new pair of Oboz at the NOC and my feet started to heal and became pain free three days later. One of the best days was doing 10 miles by 10:30 in the morning and still having lots of energy to continue for another 15.
Heck.. Every Day was a Best Day, rain, shine , snow, hail, it didn’t matter I was outside, moving North.
To quote Hunter S Thomson.” There was no point in looking back, F____ No, not today thank you, My heart was filled with Joy, I felt like the monster reincarnation of Horatio Algers, a man on the move, and just sick enough to be totally confident.”

I got my avatar now updated lol thanks
