I received Robin’s sleeping pad in the mail yesterday (I sent him a new lighter-weight one more suited for non-desert areas a few weeks back) and I couldn’t figure out why the address wasn’t in his handwriting (and the box didn’t include a sweet note or whittled object)… Then, through the joys of internet stalking… I found this on another PCT-er’s blog:
“My previous air mattress couldn’t hold air…. Many thanks to Robin Hood for lending me his Z Rest for the past week! ” – – http://postholer.com/journal/viewJournal.php?event_id=1321
Robin Hood… what a guy, huh? So I searched the rest of their blog to see if they talked about him more (this is healthy, right?). Well, Frank and Tortuga make a cameo mention in their blog here:

And thus begun the google searching… Joel (Tortuga) has some beer-debt to other hikers for this one:

And not to start any pct-drama, but Robin claimed to have won this bet described by another fellow hiker (Autopilot) here:

I guess what happens on the trail… doesn’t quite stay on the trail. (:
