Hey Pekka, are you happy now? :)

So, through the PCT Class of 2012 Facebook Group, I have been "meeting" a lot of other people from the USA and abroad who will also be hiking this year.  A fellow thru-hiker from Germany, who like myself, is a bit eccentric and nutty named Pekka Schmidts, was asking why he was not mentioned in my blog.  Pekka seems like pretty good ninja material.  Perhaps if our paths cross, I will have to initiate him into my Society of Ostentatious Ninjas.  But I'll let Butterstuff make that call.

So Pekka, here ya go buddy.  This post is for you.  I truly hope that I meet you on the trail, so we can swordfight in our respective combat suits, and LARP on top of Mt.Whitney!
