Bummer!
I always liked him -- from the first time I'd met him in ???? was it '99??
I think it was -- by the campfire of the original Trail Days location. He'd been holding court there for quite some time, and ended up continuing on with me -- for hours! We spoke until dawn (or past)... and hence on every Gathering, Ruck, or Trail Days that I could hit. He always remembered my kids, too -- which as their Dad, was always gave me a kick. There always seemed to be a solid vein of genuine humanity under Jack's more-common mode of gruff, imitation curmudgeon-for-hire....... Ha! A heart of gold.
I wish many happy miles, and peaceful rest, to all, but to Baltimore Jack Tarlin -- Hiker, writer, gadabout, raconteur, helluva nice guy, and a friend.

Baltimore Jack Tarlin passed away
around 6AM at Mission Hospital in
Franklin, NC. I chatted with him a few weeks ago and
he was having
problems consistent with heart failure then.
