Wrote to thank him for his photographs and online journaling about the Pacific Coast Trail and others. I just needed to know a couple of things about section G from Walker Pass to Mount Whitney for my novel, and I found his wonderful site, www.phlumf.com

These pix and stories were very helpful. Seems he’s also hiked in Iceland. So have I. I am but a lowly dayhiker, but I so admire backpackers.

[Edit: Received a response from him today 1/6/2008. He has hiked the Pacific Crest Trail about 10 miles from where I live. Nice guy.]
