If you are a long distance hiker as I am, you have heard of or communicated with her on the trail. I am talking about "Yogi" a lady who has written the book on long-distrance treks. I first met Yogi at the 2008 PCT Kickoff and passed her last week as she is hiking the AT again. I had just finished my first week of patrolling my assigned section of the AT (my 10th season out of Fontana trailhead) in the GSMNP.
I am always pleased to see other LD hikers who share a love of the long footpaths and the many perennial hikers who tread them. Yogi and I took time to share a few stories and catch up on the news of mutual friends. As usual, a cool breeze began to blow over the mountain and we had to get moving. It was good to see you Yogi.
Keep hiking,
