My son Synthasizer is at Hot Springs today (SAT-6th) heading NOBO. If you see him give me a nod =)
Has anyone seen Stonedflea and her Weimy Swazye???
Bear bait (the German) was at the tower north of Hot Springs Thur night and planning on 2 long days to reunite with his partners in time for a ride from Erwin to Damascus.
hiked half of standing indian loop up to albert mountain before i met the amazing "Miss Janet". she was kind enough to join us that evening around the fire to tell us wisdom and stories from years of hiking and owning her own hostel in tennessee. but the best thing she shared with us was her "trail magic". thank you miss janet for all of your kindness and i hope to run into you again someday!
(and if you are reading this miss janet, we indeed hiked the seven miles back to our cars and went straight to the three eagles outfitters and bought a map!!)
Yesterday, while painting the interior of Double Springs Shelter with Mouse Repellent paint saw the following hikers:
Body Snatcher
Lt Dan
Frizzle
Steady
Cauliflower
Mystic Bear
Doug Force One
Bush Whacker
Little Bird
Middlebury
Hobo
Smiley
Black Foot
I reckon Damascus is getting crowded . . .
See you on the trail (& at Trail Days),

I ran into 3 thru hikers in NYC today. Didn't catch their names. They seemed in great spirits though, and said they were expecting to finish in June.
Don't take anything I say seriously... I certainly don't.
Met a 70 year old man today, Loner Boner, doing his second thru. First one was in 2007. He was resupplying in Daleville, VA and I saw him in the parking lot of Kroger and gave him a ride to his motel. Very nice man and gentleman.
Talked to Lunchbox yesterday hiking near Great Barrington, I think he said he started Feb 3., He was doing well.
Saw 3 Stoves, Renaissance, Bundy, and White Fang at Morgan Stewart in NY on Tuesday night.
Saw Man Cub last night at Mt. Algo in CT. Man Cub started March 15.
Yesterday I picked up four hikers who were by road at Mt. Rogers Headquarters. No, the names escape me, but the woman is from Poland, and the three guys are from Indiana, Chicago, and Connecticut. The woman wants to replace her tent with a hammock. I offered to drive her to and from Damascus, knowing that every imaginable hammock would be there for sale with its vendor. She chose not, citing the partying.
You never know just what you can do until you realize you absolutely have to do it.

Spoke briefly with Berky on May 14th. He was in MD almost to the PA line.
Anyone seen my son "Synthasizer" and his 3 young buddies? Should be north of Hot Springs? Last we heard......
I know, he does have a cell but I heard the MTS dont have good reception...hard being the "momma" and not knowing where he is....and if he`s okay? Letting go is HARD! =)
I heard a rumor today....son might be alone on the AT (friends ditched him?) Please let me know if someone sees him, last heard he NOBO form Damascus?
RC was leaving Damascus from Trail Days so I reckon he is in the Shenadoahs by now with the Turtle rejoining him. Anyone seen them? Thanks
Has any one seen Fosters, Rev or Viticus. I hike with them for a day or two in the SNP a month or so ago and they are great guys. I'd love to hear how their doing.
Half of the people can be part right all of the time,Some of the people can be all right part of the time. But all the people can't be all right all the time
Talked to "Twig" at Big Meadows Wayside in Shenandoah National Park on May 22. I would bet he's getting awfully close to Harpers Ferry by now.
He told me about agressive bears in SNP.
