Big Sur – NovemberI'll remember 2010 as the year I met the legendary JMT hiker, Reinhold Metzger on the JMT. We talked for about 15 minutes. Just an amazing man. Does anyone know his email address? I owe him a photograph of the lady I was with. Him and her took a photograph together, he asked for it.
Here is a great story on Reinhold. Link
In 2010, I met again, Bruce Lauren (now age 84) on the JMT, whom I met 2 years ago also on the JMT. Each time, he was with his son, Lee, and a friend (age 70 now), named Vern. This is Bruce in 2010 on the JMT. He spent 8 days on the trail this year. He does section hiking. Lives near the high sierras and spents lots of time out there. Fantastic guy.
If anyone knows Bruce and knows his email address, please provide it. I want to send him photos too.

We ran into Bruce and his party atop Mather Pass on aug 12 of last year. They were going south. Bruce wasn't even breathing hard when he arrived. What a guy!
