[pct-l] Charles Barker

[waynekraft at verizon.net (Wayne Kraft)]

According to his obituary, Charles Barker celebrated his 70th birthday by hiking most of the PCT.  Since he was born July 2, 1932 I assume this would have put him on the trail in 2002.  He apparently spent much of each summer in the mountains and, when he didn't come home this fall, his family went up to his campsite at Timothy Lake, just off the PCT, where they found his body relaxing in his camping chair, his soul having peacefully moseyed along while no one was looking.

Did anyone meet Charley on the trail?

At any rate, happy trails to you, Charles Barker.
