Also, in case anyone on the trail is trying to find my blog based on my trail name, I should probably post that my trail name has been Scout's Honor (alternative misspellings may include Scouts Honor, Scout Honor, or just Scouts) for over a thousand miles. It's not a very exciting trail name, but it fits well enough and ought to do until a more exciting name (e.g., "Pants On Fire", "Grenade", etc.) comes along. Daybreaker and Easy Strider came up with it on our first day out of Kennedy Meadows since I had been bouncing scout-related names for several hundred miles prior. I left the McDonalds at Cajon Pass (Southern California, very early in the trip) with about seven other hikers. We ended up hitting a long series of switchbacks just as it was getting late and eventually camped together ON (I think my previous post from the time has a photo of all our tents lined up along the trail tread) the trail since there was nowhere else to go. Between cooking away from camp so as not to attract animals to my food at night, telling some of the other hikers not to through rocks as we were going up switchbacks while hikers were known to be below us, and a few other quips, the group agreed that a name related to scouts would be fitting. However, it took a while to come up with one since "Scout", "Boyscout", "Girlscout", and several others were already taken.
