[pct-l] R.I.P. Lonetrail

[bighummel at aol.com]

In the long distance hike of a lifetime, the end draws near.? We all know the time must come.? We know not at what trail mile.? We only wish that when that mile marker is reached, that we will be following one of our life's greatest passions.? As Al did when he reached his.? May we all go so, in?such grandeur, with grace and pride, knowing that we have truly lived our lives to the very fullest that they can possibly?be lived.? 



R.O.T.? (Rest On Trail)?

In case you didn't see this on PCT-L... 

?

Based on the description, this is probably in
the area between Big Mosquito Lake and the Rd. 23 crossing. http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_081409_news_skamania_hiker_dead.dd806ce7.html

?

And in case you didn't know, Lonetrail's real name is Al Mader and he's 80...so I assume it's one and the same.
