[pct-l] Pct-L Digest, Vol 72, Issue 24

[Jim & Jane Moody]

As SK says, Train did indeed finish the PCT in last year.  He did a long section of the CDT in 2013, hiking with a number of former PCT thrus, including Smiles, '10.  He came by the Dinsmores in Sept this year, giving rides, food, friendship, and humor.  Neat guy.

Ron "Train" Ulrich is his name.  Train is his trail name for obvious wedding 
dress reasons.  He did make it all the way to Canada, wearing a different 
dress donated and sent to him each week of the hike.  He was a hoot to hike 
with - made each day we had the pleasure of hiking with him more fun to head 
up the trail.  Funny, and fun loving - a really nice and great guy.  Lives 
in Portland, Or.
