Anyone seen a tall PCT hiker goin by the name of Longlegs?

OAKLAND, CA-

The social media intern has returned to the grid. For those of you who worried that my silence this week meant that Michael had gone missing on the trail, that I had failed to find him, or that my Social Media Internship has been outsourced due to the high cost of my labor, fear not. Michael is pushing 800 miles by now; I and Tom the Snack Captain and my partner Rachel and her sister Claire did indeed find him, though it was looking a little worrisome for a moment there; and the social media internship continues.

I will have to write a series of blog posts just about Kennedy Meadows and Tom's Place. In the meantime, due to time, here are a few short updates:

1) Michael has grown a tricolor beard. Blonde mustache, red on his face, black around his neck. Rachel calls it a calico beard. It is beautiful to behold.

2) Yesterday, Michael and his buddies Max and Tom climbed Mt. Whitney (Michael's first fourteener). Report forthcoming.

3) Michael has given me permission to publish all of John Henry's letter to me, which I will do in a coming post. I needed to get his blessings first, though I promise that the letter is Safe for Work.

4) I successfully delivered Dave Coogan's brilliant care package; documentation to follow.

More to come!
