[pct-l] 2010 hiker~ Smiles from Switzerland

[Lisa Freathy]

I am trying to track down a 2010 hiker that I met at the ADZPCTKO... all I know is that her name is Smiles and she is from Switzerland.

She provided the most incredible encouragement and gift. A flower lei was given to her by a 2009 thru hiker to encourage her hike and she passed on to me to encourage me to follow my dreams of a 2011 thru hike (at which time I must pass on the lei to a 2012 hopeful) and I would love to be able to connect with her. In my surprise at our meeting I never got her "real" name although she said she was on Facebook as was her gift giver/encourager Ryan Bouge (I also tried to track him down but could not)

If anybody knows Smiles from Switzerland could you please tell me how to find her, or please let her know she can email me here or connect w/me on facebook where I am listed under Lisa Curry Freathy.

Thanks!!
 Lisa
