I’ve been hiking around the past few days with some really cool cats: Single Speed, Hurrying Hoosier, Slag Line, Doc, Pancake, and Fruit Booter. The first three have pretty similar paces so they walk together, but the rest of us spread out along the trail. Hurrying Hoosier as a trail journal going too.
I’ve been in Franklin for over 24 hours now, and I’ve got over 12 hours to go waiting for my mail drops. My first zero day, and maybe my last, sitting around sucks. But Miss Jannett, the lady that runs the hostel I’m staying at is awesome. Oh well, back at in tommorrow. I figure I’m four or five days from the smokies, oh boy!

Well, depends on who you talk to. I started out with Bender, but sign the logs with an AT logo conterted into a pine tree on fire, so some people call me birning tree. I’ll post a photo sometime. But seems like people think Bender’s the better trail name, although apparently there was a different Bender back in 2004.

How ’bout: Bender II. Or, Bender Boy, Boston Boy, Mofee II, Eagle Scout, Fig Newton, Tatoo NOW, Dream Chaser, Star Gazer, Maine-E-Ack, RISD Roamer, AT Artist, Designer Dog, Maniac Matt, Homesick Hiker. I like alliteration. Burning Tree is good. Sounds Nataive American.
