No plans for the CDT yet… but word is Pigpen will be attempting the new PCT speed record while existing on a diet of Krinkle Cut Salt and Pepper Chips, and Fatboy (Cole) will try to one up him doing the Horseshoe Route (PCT, PNT West to Coastal walk South) on a diet of Crisco, and Chi harnassed photosynthesis. However, this being his third attempt at the PCT he is willing to settle for Skykomish. I personally intend to ride an ostrich into the sunset…

Ha, Dude doesn’t really exist. I’m convinced of it. People kept SAYING they’d seen him, but he never really appeared!

I will be less than an hour’s drive from Union Pass, Togwotee Pass,Brooks Lake, or Pilot Knob. I’ve given a few CDT hitchhiking folks rides over the years. I hope to be doing my own hiking this July and August but depending on timing I could help someone out with shuttle and supplies possibly. I do go to the Climbers Ranch a bit so if anyone wants a rest before Brooks Lake to Heart Leak Trailhead I might be able to give a ride one way or both, who knows. My schedule will not be set until Memorial Day or so, so if you want to see if I might be able to help send a message to Double Cabin at Backpacker.com and we’ll get in touch.

The happiest of trails to all of you this season,

John

Is this the Dude that I met at Springer Shelter April 22, 2005 on the last night of his Sobo Winter Thru, and me on the first night of my Nobo Thru? He did exist, I have photographic and cerebral proof. Yeah, I’m doing the CDT this year too, the cognitive distant trail…

Hi Sandals, Hi Fishngame, and happy anniversary to you Gesh. The sort of “legendary” Dude here. I’m looking forward to seeing those of you on the CDT this year. Would like to get in touch with all you Southbounders before we leave.

Dude, I know its been three years, good to see your still out there…just a historical note, the four people that started from Springer that April 23rd, 2005 all made it to the big K at or around Sept. 27…that was Mike (GQ), Bubble Boy, Josh (Pizza) and myself…we all toasted the odds together at Lake of the Clouds … watch out for rabid marmots…
