An apt tribute!  He was one of the good people.

>I met Bill at the ADZKO, and we shared a love for PCT history, and the >trail itself. I hiked by Charlton lake in 2010 when I hiked the Oregon PCT. >I camped at Bobby lake the nite before, and arrived at Charlton lake at >noon, checked out all the campsites, and hiked north to Stormy lake for the >nite. But I will always remember that Chalton Lake was AsaBat's last >campsite. Thank you for placing this memorial on the PCT to Bill! > http://www.pbase.com/losthiker/image/129768059/original > ~~~ > Today, I had the honor of placing Asabat's memorial at Charlton Lake. Dana > Law put all the effort into putting it together and mailing it up here. > The memorial is located on the PCT, rather than the lake itself. I placed > it at the southernmost signed junction to the lake, 0.11 mi. south of the > main junction, and 0.48 south of rd. 5897. That places it just past trail > mile 1931.5. For those who like coordinates, it's at N 43 44.644, W 121 > 58.747. It is a metal ammo can, with notebook and pencils inside for  > people > to sign. > > I'm glad I was given the opportunity to be a part of this. I didn't know > Bill personally, but I know he did an awful lot for the PCT community. So > next time you're hiking past, stop by and give your regards. > > Judson Brown/bunnyslayer > >
