Kerminator, I'm certain you had some extremely interesting discussions with Echo - Just as I did with him one year ago in New York State. He is a man of great feeling and knowledge, and has wonderful tales to tell of his backpacking experiences. I miss him a great deal and have hoped to be able to meet up with him again. Should you happen to see Echo after reading this note, I would very much appreciate it if you would say "hello" to him from me. I hope he will remember the peaceful days he spent with me and my family and our llamas in New York State near Port Jervis in late-July/mid-August of 2004. I also hope he will visit us here again. Please help me connect with my friend if you can. Many thanks, and Happy Trails! ... Faarside aka WhiteHorse.
