I continue to meet tons and tons of people on the trail. Yesterday in the late afternoon I ran into a northbound hiker who looked at me and said, “Puffin, is that you?” It turned out to be Pick-Me-Up, my friend from the Terrapin Station Hostel just north of Shenandoah National Park.

  
Here’s Rockfish.  He’s a Triple Crowner; hiked the AT, PCT, and CDT.  He’s now hiking the AT southbound.  He’s hard core and old school.

 
Here’s Bull, he’s NOBO.

  
And get a load of this.  Here I am in late June when I started my hike and today.
