<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just an update for anyone who cares. San
Gabriel is on his way to completing the CDT and by no means was it an easy
task. As many of you might know this year was full of rain and snow and
many challenges just to dodge the lightening storms. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Being good friends with San Gabe after meeting
him last year on our PCT thru hike we just want to say that we are very proud of
him and amazed that in this journey he has only missed 16 Paved miles of the
entire trail. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>He has taken most of the high routes which have
been known to be difficult especially this year. This to us is remarkable
after what we have read and seen him accomplish throughout the months monitoring
his journal. He always has had a great attitude every time we speak to him on
the phone and seems grateful to be out there no matter what the situation brings
his way. These are the attributes that probably have
contributed to his success.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good luck to all the other CDT hikers out there
this year, We know a few of you and wish you all the
best.</FONT></DIV>
