I'm PottyMouth. I was at Hightop Hut in Shenandoah with you when Metal Detector came rolling in. Haha ... yeah, gotta admire his gusto, eh. I got him down to the outfitter in Waynesborough and then went on to finish my section. I don't know if he ever made it to GA.<br />I was able to do another 350 mile section this year and saw Meat at Trail Days in Damascus. He was the other thru-hiker at Hightop Hut with us.<br />I hope your training business is doing well. Take care.<br /><br />Trey DowneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80810624354192076.post-72759561793215094422012-06-01T22:46:24.593-04:002012-06-01T22:46:24.593-04:00Haha, it is weird the things your mind thinks of o...Haha, it is weird the things your mind thinks of out here.Matt Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756554018934584258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80810624354192076.post-14021421020887040752012-06-01T22:44:37.095-04:002012-06-01T22:44:37.095-04:00I haven't figured out if I can download them t...I haven't figured out if I can download them to the computer yet, I'll have to look into it.

I know it seems like I should know how it happened, but I am constantly hitting my feet on things that I don't know which impact did the damage or if it is from the accumulation of all of them.Matt Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756554018934584258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-80810624354192076.post-612084586376760172012-05-28T14:01:06.080-04:002012-05-28T14:01:06.080-04:00Your bear story....don't do that to me!!!!
