RedBuffalo, I just found a backup and threw my site back up real quick. I think this is an older backup because it is missing some of my more recent trips, but I'll find them eventually. Too many computers, files, and reformats for me to remember where it all went.

Red.. I haven't talked to Trail Relic but unless the other 3 of his guys finished the only patches would be for you, Tenn and Preacher.. But then you and Tenn have done this trail a few times now complete and I know Tenn has his vanity patch lol. I never asked for mine so anyone want mine you can have it. Just ask and I will give you a couple of dates that I have completed the trail and you can send it in if you really need the patch.

Nice photos East Stingray! Looked like a good year of backpacking! I like that Triple Falls.

Preacher Man - I just ordered a pair of SOLE insoles. I'll let you know how they work out.

TM - the patch was just code for who finished...

Hey, that Flip Video I found at the Winding Stairs crossing is pretty cool. A USB flips out for both downloading and charging. It holds 1 hr of video.

It sure was a great weekend for backpacking!!!

Pete, here's the link to the stove I promised you. I have the Fancee Feast, but the other one looks pretty good too.

Red,

I wish that I had my SOLE's in this weekend. I am suffering from a bad shin splint in my right shin, and wow it hurts. It has gotten progressively worse since Sunday because of inflamation, but it is nothing that stretching and ice can't help. I have also looked at ordering me a pair of Keen's, but I want to try a pair on first. Time to go looking Wink

I am really glad that I didn't lose anything on this trip, and it was really great getting to meet up with you guys and putting a face to a name. I hope that we can all meet up again soon.

thanks for the link east!
I like the Gerber I found, but I'd rather have the keys that I lost. Oh well, life goes on. I still had a great time regardless, the weather was great, the area was amazing, and the company was pretty good too Wink I look forward to going again, this time with a much lighter pack.

Bill,Brenda, and Wyn all finished on Sunday. But Brenda and Wyn drove their car from AP to Winding Stair Trailhead. So they might be disqualified.

Good to hear that they made it out.. to tell the truth I was worried about them. They had lagged all day and Bill had a nasty stumble. They were hurting Friday night. Shocked me when they said they were going on. Oh well, long as everyone is all safe.
