[pct-l] Buck Thirty

I met Buck Thirty on the PCT in 2009.
Ran into him and a group of hikers just outside of Ashland Oregon.
We all stopped for a communal food break near the same spring.. one of those unplamnned meetings
that happen so serendipitously later in the hike.
We all began pulling out tortillas, cheese, and goodies fresh from town.
Thats when Buck brings out that box..
I will never forget the gasp of astonishment.. and my own amazement.. 
He had packed a baker's dozen of FULL sized, glazed doughnuts complete in their huge protective clear plastic gem case.
It was like some magic trick, him pulling that huge box-o-donuts out of his too-small pack like that!
Awesome guy that Buck Thirty!
