Who's gonna be the first one to get a VFTT tattoo? For a while there I was thinking Sherpa John would be, but that would have been a poor choice on his part. :eek:

Dude, Photoshop? ;)

For me, the props go to my uncle. Nothing special sticks out, but he was the man that got me into not hiking that much vs. not at all.

Applying duct tape around my feet (see Tom Rankin's Previous Avatar) is the only real ritual I've been consistant with.

What, no thumbs up?

Mr. X will possibly break off some trail magic for those along the way.

I'm with him, where is it? And is it truely this weekend?
