[at-l] Christmas Hike

[spiriteagle99 at hotmail.com (Jim and/or Ginny Owen)]

In your description of your Christmas hike you mentioned just missing Crash 
Test Dummy, the ECT hiker who started July 4 and is still heading for Key 
West.  We ran into him on Thursday, just as it was getting dark.  We were 
heading for water and a campsite (unfortunately still over two miles away - 
Shenandoah Campsites can be a pain to find, especially in the dark in a 
narrow valley with cliffs on one side and waterfalls on the other) while he 
planned to do another 5 1/2 miles to the next shelter - though he mentioned 
he might just keep on going another 20 to Waynesboro since he liked night 
hiking.  We stopped to chat for a few minutes, but darkness was upon us so 
we didn't get to talk long.  Who were the other southbounders you met?  He 
thought he was the last of the southbound.
