    Was it One of You Guys?

    I was watching The Discovery Channel last night and they had a one hour show on about The Appalachian Trail. They showed each section, starting in Georgia and ending in Maine. The last segment, filmed in Maine concerned a 70 year old guy from Hawaii who had hiked the entire trail. He was at the base camp, just before hiking the last section to the top on Mount Baxter (I think that's right). They showed several other hikers. One of them was wearing a kilt. They interviewed and showed closeups of most of the hikers before they started up the last section. Unfortunately, they left the kilted guy out. Since I know we have a few hikers, and I think I remember at least one saying that they had hiked The Appalachian trail, I was wondering if it could have been one of our members.

    Thanks for the correction. My memory is getting so bad that I can't remember such details from just the night before.

    It could be Andrew Breecher. I know he does a lot of Kilted hiking.
