Lint is an amazing character. Always manages to show up at just the right moment on the trail. He has a tattoo of every trail he has hiked on his body. I am talking picto-graphic map representations of trails! Then there is this big red Monkey Wrench Tatoo on his leg. I asked him why the wrench? He said; "That? It's just a wrench". Here is a picture of Lint (left), Pi, and Miss Information from the PCT in 2009. .
The thing i like about Lint is that he uses his trail knowledge to both help other hikers and confront hikers that are doing bad things or setting a bad example. Lint reminds hikers that our trail Karma is tied to everyone elses. What hikers do in town directly effects those that follow. With a new "crop" of hikers every year, it is good to have veteran hikers like Lint around to set an example. Lint is a stand up guy and a great trail ambassador.
