[at-l] Mt Roamer

For those who might remember Mt Roamer (AT 98) -

We spent Friday night with Teresa and her father, Dave.  They just got back 
from Alaska where they spent several months canoeing over 1600 miles down 
the Yukon River.  They started at Whitehorse in late July and finished at 
Anvik, AK in early October.  Lots of wildlife,  fishing, hunting, rain and 
high winds, cold weather, beautiful country and a surprising number of 
people.  And beautiful pictures - including some of McKinley when they were 
driving through Denali on their way back home.  They loved the country and 
the people - but they were still glad to get home.  And they'll probably go 
back to Alaska again.  They may also be at the Ruck.  And if y'all are 
lucky, they may do a slide show at next year's Gathering.

Today for us was a short hike/scouting trip to one of the local State Parks 
- Greenbrier State Park which is right off the AT where the Trail crosses 
I70 in MD.  Good trail, lots of blowdowns, lots of sunshine, cool weather - 
and a little Fall color.  A perfect day in the woods.

Walk softly,
Jim
