[at-l] Trip reports

[Marsha]

I keep up with reports and journals because I travel so much to different 
parts of the AT for section hikes and trail magic. Next year I'm spending a 
lot of time in New England in particular Maine. I love meeting up with 
certain hikers on the Trail. Journals are important to me for this purpose.

I am enjoying Stumpknocker and MrsGorp's journals this year immensely, and 
looking forward to Skeemer returning-he's a riot-read his journals. Another 
hiker, Boulder, injured himself and he's off the Trail-I'm rather sad about 
that I was hoping to see him summit.  I am following Lion King and Redneck 
Rye on the PCT and Datto is sectioning the PCT this year. Lion King is 
filming his PCT hike and will be titled: Walking with Freedom II, here's 
what he's produced so far:

high speed only-----
These are only a FEW of the  people that interest me.

B'Jack is sectioning this year a lot. He, Lone Wolf  and others did start at 
Springer earlier in the year, took time off for hiker events and other 
things and he's in Hanover right now. He, Tricks and Fanny Pack will be 
performing much New England Trail magic. I had planned on joining them this 
year but cannot.

I have decided to start writing about my travels along the AT starting from 
earlier this year and will be filming as well. It's a several year project. 
The documentation will be about hikers of course, but mainly about the AT 
community in particular hiker accommodations along the AT. It's a job I look 
forward to. It is a leisure job, no schedule, no pressure. I can't do 
pressure.

Every post, journal entry, media, etc is important to me. Anything 
interesting please forward it to me. I'm not much interested in sponsored 
hikes or hiking for a cause. I am interested in people like this:

and others like Bob Peoples, Janet Hensley, etc.  I will send you all 
tidbits of my travels occasionally but I don't want to clutter this site 
with too much. I can be dramatic at times ;)

Hope to see you most of you at the Gathering.

Marsha
