Howdy Professor Gator, I guess it's been 45 days since I picked you up and you told me you had a You Tube channel. I haven't missed an episode since and there all good. Your on the half of the trail I missed back in 1981 and I'm really enjoying seeing it through your eyes so a big thank you to you. I've been noticing for the last couple of weeks how much weight you've lost so I'm not surprised about the pants. Your a lean, mean hiking machine now. Keep on trucking. Your buddy, Roelf
