He was the man to go to with questions regarding the PCT. Photos: http://piotrowski.smugmug.com SpotCasting: https://maps.findmespot.com/s/9DDZ#history/assets

He will be missed, most of all by his family, but he shared great wisdom on this board and on the trail. Happy trails in the eternities, AsABat. Brent N
