[at-l] Andrew Skurka, that C2C guy

[bluetrail at aol.com (bluetrail@aol.com)]

Got to see Andy Skurka's presentation last night in Orlando.  Obviously, the feat itself is incredible--snowshoeing for a couple of months, -20 degree nights, using a lot of map and compass work, doing it alone, etc.  What made it better is what a genuinely nice guy he seems to be.  He was aticulate, witty, thoughtful, and appreciate of all who helped him.  He excuded a marvelous quiet confidence without any braggadocio or swagger.  He's a great ambassador for the hiking community.
 
And GoLite and Travel Country Outdoors (the outfitter which hosted the presentation) gave away some terrific door prizes!
