Hi, Giles, I must apologize for being quite a bit behind in keeping up with your Porte Crayon pieces. I’m on a ship making my way south to Patagonia now and have time to catch up on reading. They are both informative and entertaining! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed them and look forward to more. I ran across Strother’s story some years ago, wondering why a mountain was named that way. His is, indeed, a fascinating story and I thank you for bringing it more to light. Looking forward to a glass of applejack and some more from you! Best, Skip.
Hi Giles. I didn't know anything about Porte Crayon until recently, after looking up an illustration about "hillbillies." I'm glad you hiked Mount Porte Crayon, it's supposed to be one of West Virginia's most inaccessible peaks.
Hey there Chuck - no doubt about it. Mount PC is a wild and wooly place. I got lucky in that I hiked it with friends who know what they're doing. Others, I'd still up there! 😂

Safe travels, my friend. Reading about a travel writer while traveling ... seems like the right way to do it. 😁
