[pct-l] Shroomer & Dusty

[Jim & Jane Moody]

Some of you know Shroomer (Scott Williams) and Dusty (Richard Birss) and that they are doing a thru-hike of the AT this year. I hosted them near Roan Mtn in northeast TN last Friday/ Saturday and greatly enjoyed reuniting with Shroomer and meeting Dusty. Sadly, they both had to get off the trail within a few days, perhaps for the year. Dusty suffered a medical situation that required extraction by EMS near Kincora. He is still in the hospital following surgery but is progressing well. His wife arrived yesterday. 

Shroomer had to leave due to a family medical situation back home. He's fine physically, not sick or injured. He is more likely to return this year than is Richard. 

BTW, you can now refer to him as The Reverend Shroomer, since he will begin performing weddings next month. Is there anything that guy can't do? 

I have tried to inform the list of their situations without violating too much personal info. Shroomer is on Postholer, so he will probably update soon.
