Bulldog here. Do you remember were Kip and Jesse aka Rose and Soupman, my memory fails somewhat but do remember some very fun afternoons in Georgia. Did Chugger finish? Your trail name was/is so good. I will always remember my Mom's facial expression...needed some corrective explanation.

Joe - This is Bulldog. How strange to read these posts in 2014. My memory unsurprisingly fails me - for example I don't remember running out of gas near Gettysburg. Could you send me an email? It is tomfleag@yahoo.com I live at Lake Tahoe (over 10 years now) and am thinking of doing the Oregon and Washington sections of the PCT this year. I hardly ever hike anymore.

I read all of the entries from your climb, but never got around to reading the safari portion of the trip. Now that you are back safe, this is hysterical! I am laughing out loud at these stories!

A special huge thank you to Joe and Mary, who kept me connected to Suzanne everyday. Without those visuals, I think I would have gone crazy wondering. Super Work!!
