In September of 2007 we hiked the 40 mile Maryland section of the AT with Becky's uncle Mel. It was a 4 day/3 night hike that would take us from Pen-Mar at the Pennsylvania/Maryland state line, to Harper's Ferry in West Virginia. It was Becky's very first hiking/camping trip. Although she spent most of the time limping on a sore knee, she absolutely fell in love with hiking.
We met some great people on the trip, two of whom we have kept in touch with: Santa Claus and Snowbird (Clyde and Dave, respectively). Clyde returned to Portland after completing his hike, but not before spending a night at our house while passing through the Baltimore area. Dave is still on the trail, and we trade emails with him occasionally. In the picture, Clyde is on the far left and Dave is in the middle.
