Andrew Thompson, a.k.a "Traildog"
Congrats to Cave Dog!
I met Teddy in Vermont while scouting for my southbound AT hike & he was scouting for his LT southbound. I stumbled upon him above Clarendon gorge - the best swhimhole on the long Trail (near Killington peak). We became instant friends and I helped him a month later on his long Trail speed record - hiking with him about 75 of the last ninety miles. The section he traversed in Vermont on his 50-state challenge passed the place where the cop was $#c#%! his girl friend in the cruiser, which I posted on the list years ago.
Teddy's hiking/life philosophy has made a permanent mark on my own. We have different approaches to our individual challenges in terms of media and crews, but I believe he is the toughest hiker in the country - easily.

Happy Feet to Head,
