[at-l] Happy Bday to RamBunny and stuff

[DaRedhead@aol.com (DaRedhead@aol.com)]

Just spent an incredibly wonderful night with a bunch of thruhikers, most of 
all our own RamBunny, hiking the Trail again this year, and today (last night 
I guess) being her birthday.

I'll try to remember everyone - some of them aren't thru hiking, they are pre 
hiking (they already thru'd once) on their way to the PCT.  That would be 
Yogi, Tree and Paranoid.  Probably more, but I caught what names I could.  
Met Freight Train, and Little Bit, and Hot Sauce and Dust - found 
weathercarrot ( the tent made it, Kurt), who hiked for a few days w/ the 
bunny  . . . had a great time on the trampoline at Miss Janets, ate good 
food, had a few amber colored malt beverages, and in general, wow.  Reminded 
me of why I love hikers.  What a great group of people to hang out with.

Next week is the Thru Hiker Easter Dinner, hosted and a part of Mahoneys (the 
local outfitters) opening an outfitters on the river.  (that would be NOC, 
used to be expeditions,campground about a mile past Johnnys and 2.9 miles 
before Curley Maple Gap Shelter, on the Trail.)

Anyone in the area, feel free to stop by.  We're picking up hikers from 
Damascus to Hot Springs, and in between, and expect more than a few, 
including most of the crew we had here tonight.  Local folk will also be 
there, including, I believe, the people from the hostels up around Wautaga 
Lake, and members of the local maintaining clubs.  Food is aplenty, supplied 
mostly by local retailers.  

In case anyone missed Baltimore Jacks post, there will be a scattering of 
Patch's ashes at the Priest on the 28th.  If you need directions let somebody 
know.  

In the meantime, everyone say a happy (belated now) birthday to RamBunny - 
she blew out the candles so I guess her wish will come true ;)

The Redhead
