An AT through hiker heading south as I am heading north. His trail name? – his given name, Scott. As Scott explained, he was just himself. I like that. And I liked his free spiritedness. Just himself, free spirited. Like the dogs at Finally Home.. Just themselves, free spirited.

Scott (right), just himself, and NorthOne between North Crocker and South Crocker.
