When the Andrews were hiking through the dessert, they leap-frogged Spot (aka Greg Howe) a couple of times. Spot is from Portland, has been hiking the PCT in sections, and this summer was his last segment of the PCT.
Evidently, our boys and Spot ran low on topics of conversation and the fact that I recently sat for and passed my second bar examwas shared. Fast forward to early June, Spot came off trail to recover from an injury, and returned to the trail to finish this segment north to south opposite the normal flow. This gave Spot the chance to pass all his previous trail friends as they hiked north.
Well, you know where this is going. Spot passed our boys just after they returned to the trail post San Francisco. A few minutes of chatting and all hiked on. Skip ahead another couple weeks and Spot finds me on the Oregon State Bar member directory. (He's a lawyer, too, so it's not creepy.) Tonight Spot and I had a good chat as I updated him on the trail news. We're hoping to meet up this fall after Andrew finishes the trail.
