[pct-l] From Facebook, the passing of Ed Anderson, "Mendo Rider"

[chiefcowboy at verizon.net]

I too will miss Ed.  I met him in 2009 on my thru-hike when he was 
completing his ride with Primo.  Over the years we became good friends and 
last fall spent about 3 wonderful days hiking from Black Mountain into 
Idyllwild.  He was a great conversationalist with great values.

I am so sad to hear about Ed dying. When I met him ,back in the 80's, he and 
Jereen were still racing long distance on horses. I believe what he really 
invented was the wonderful "Adventurewagon" It has a permanent raised top 
that is aerodynamicly designed to avoid the problem with wind that the 
Westphalia is famous for. It has a wooden interior,like a boat. It can sit 
at a trailhead with the refrigerator running for over a week. I could go on 
and on about the differences. I have beendriving mine for 26 years and hope 
to drive it forever. Once two of us lived in it for a year traveling 
throughout the US. It was on that trip that I learned that people did long 
distance trails. He will be missedMarmot
