Dan gets the last laugh today as I was teasing him regarding his big bird yellow hikers he bought at Neal's Gap. Super light though, which turned out to be the key for a Marathon push. Up and down all day with intermittent rain made a believer out of me as my feet turned to hamburger again. Should have thrown my Ahsola hikers up in the tree as well. Instead I'm all duck tapped up again and not quite a third of the way into our hike distance!
All walks of life here on the sub culture trail out here whether your meeting a multi millionaire or a homeless woman after a few days we all look the same and must do the same thing.
Everyone has a story to tell if you will allow it to happen. Hiked on and off with a guy who said he scares others, many can't get beyond his body art and piercings. He's covered in blue ink and has holes everywhere. He's hiking to Maine with his dog Monkey . Turns out he is a professional piercer and develops fish type books for full body hanging which he participates in all over the world . He's giving us all the specifics on point load etc.
as we hike along. He was also very savvy relative to tips for packing and trail hiking efficiency, quite the aficionado.
Turns out he body hanged himself for the first time at 18yrs. old to alleviate the deep depression which consumed him after, first his mom then his dad committed suicide.
To deal with it he hung himself via his upper back skin for hrs to relieve the pain at 18 yrs. of age then figured out a way to turn it into a livelihood. he has also developed trolley systems to take people out over cliffs while hanging by all the body parts you can think of. Has a group of followers who go all over the world to be hung.
Hikes with his "son" his dog Monkey.
Whew he couldn't have met up with two more polar opposites and yet he would wait for us or us him as we traversed the mountains together both with a passion for the trail.

Set up camp on the leeward side of a mountain in a blowing cold rain. Whipped me today.
Funnies Dan's Big Agnes deflated on him several times last night and he's determined it must have a hole in it. Now he's packing a heavy tarp rather than his life raft.
17.5 miles
