| Pic with the "Pirate"; he is a living legend among hikers. He thru-hiked the AT 10X; was featured in several national papers and magazines. He gave me the trail name "Wi-Fi"; but I still want Pinoy Airman. |

| This was my bunk at Walisi-Yi Inn for one night |

| It was cold that morning; mountain spring water frozen... |

| Its time for dinner at Low Gap Shelter. Can you see the stove/burner? |

| Trail Angels King Tut and Jim with Pinoy Airman |
Trail magic provided
hikers some unexpected relief from good-natured souls. Pinoy Airman was
wet from sweats and he needed to dry his fleece jacket and long sleeve
dri-fit--it was cold but he had to endure it or get sick.
This one was for the
record--11.5 miles was long. He hiked for at least eight hours with 30 lbs bag
on his back climbing mountains and walking through boulders. One-foot
landing error and you will be out with an injury. There were couple of
missed calls on his feet but none serious--STILL ALIVE. When hiking was over for
the day, muscles and joints were aching. Just thinking you will start all
over again the next day was always a mental battle. Pinoy Airman just
take it one day a time; no need to plan one week in advance.
