[at-l] Cool Breeze Itinerary

[daveh@psknet.com (Dave Hicks)]

As a footnote to Jim's observation on the Cool-one's knowledge of the trail,
this was not Breeze's first hike.  If memory serves me, it was about his
third thru.  In addition, he often hiked significant segments at different
times of year.  Great guy to link up with.  Nothing like drifting off to
sleep in your tent with the soft sounds of a tin whistle serenade drifting
your way from another stealth camp.

In this itinerary, his objective was to hike each segment at the best time
of the season for that segment.

BTW -- Another Itinerary, central VA NOBO to Maine starting in March, April,
or May (depending on your hiking speed), then back to your start point SOBO
to Georgia has similar benefits, with less shuttle to arrange.

PS -- I haven't seen, or heard from, the Cool one for a while.  Anyone know
where/how he is?
