A couple of notes on the list:

  • Trail names weren't as widely used as they are today, so many of the names I have here are simply the descriptions we (the Kelty Kids) used in our journals or names I've heard others use. Please take no offense if I got yours wrong!
    * And near as I can tell, the "Backtrackers" were a loose confederation of several couples and individuals that often hung together.
  • For privacy reasons, I'm not posting E-mail and USPS addresses on this public site. If you're interested in contacting someone for whom I have an address, contact me.
