Meet my friend John Northrup.  John has been bitten by the 900 mile bug.  If you don't know what that is, it's when you wake up one rainy February day and say, "I think I'll hike every trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  Yep, all 900 miles of them.  And I won't rest until I'm done!"  I haven't been bitten by the 900 miler bug yet but if I hang around John long enough I just might.  John is an avid hiker and an awesome photographer.  I have a lot to learn from John.  I always get excited when I meet someone who is enthusiastic and fired up about what they are doing.  And that's John Northrup.

Hey Doug,

John's site seems to have gone on a hike with him. Can you drop me a note when it's up and running. I'd like to add him to my Google feed.

His photos are amazing! I am already praying for a clear day when we visit Gregory Bald later this year.

I still have the large-scale topo of the GSMNP marked up with felt tip to show where I've hiked. I didn't even know there was a term for wanting to hike all the trails, but I'm not that close anyway, and I haven't actually hiked a new (to me) trail in the Smokies in years.

Thanks for telling me about John. I love the Smokies and never tire of reading about them.
