Anyone have an idea when he thinks he’ll be cresting Max Patch? If the timing is right I would like to try and meet him out there with a pizza or beer or both. Bushwhack I believe your transcribing for him so if you’ve got any updates that would be appreciated.

He SAID he was going to be to Mountain Mamas by Wednesday but that’s not that far, I’d guess he be going over the PAtch on Tuesday/Wednesday unless you want to try and meet him at the road crossing out of the hills Monday, Mom’s crossing. Hard telling with the way he hikes and he hasn’t really told us where/when he is when he e-mails us. I do know that he left for Ice Water Springs Friday night. Its thirty miles to Mamas. Sat/Sun/Monday morning? He’d appreciate a ride from Davenport Gap to food.

Mamma’s by Wednesday huh? Maybe I’ll give a call there over the next few days to see if he has checked in. I’m in rehearsals for a production of Romeo and Juliet right now and my evenings after work are always subject to change. But I’m about 45min from Max Patch and would do some night hiking to meet him if he was nearby. I have off rehearsal Mon, Tues, Fri and Sat this week. If you have specifics about his whereabouts any of those nights let me know. If I can get close anywhere by truck and hike no more than a mile or two I’d like to try and meet up. If he needs a ride anywhere he’d have to wait for me to finish up work at 5pm, and make the drive that, depending on where he is could be anywhere from 45min to 1 1/2 hour.
Thanks for the feedback.

Sorry, I’m specificless. Other than taping a note on a tree at Davenport Gap tell him to call, I dunno.

I think I can make it to Davenport Gap and leave a note. I’ll try to do that. I’ll tell him to dial down the center!
What about leaving food? What doesn’t have a smell that I could tack to a tree that wouldn’t attract animals. Has such a food product ever been invented?
My brain is storming.

I’d say nail a Snickers to a tree with two 16d nails and let him try to get it off but that would harm the tree. be funny as hell though. And a note, wait!, freeze the Snickers in a block of ice, like in a fifty pound block! and put the note on it. Also tell him that we’re all wondering what happened to “eight miles a day”.
