Our Trail Names

Well I guess as our hike is about to come to an end, we should let you know what our trail names are and how we got them. We apologize for not letting you know sooner, but earlier on when some people were asking about them, we didn't really have them yet, and we've also forgotten to write about them. 

So here they are:

Michael's trail name is dirty mike. One of the initial groups we were hiking in was called Dirty Mike and the Boys Plus Two Girls so Michael kind of adopted that name. The main reason for his name though is because he hikes without toilet paper. He only uses that luxury in towns, otherwise he just forages for his TP. He likes to use grass, moss, sticks, snow (when available), and smooth stones. He is a very dirty man.

Matt's trail name is Coups (pronounced like coops). He received that name because he has been carrying Chickfila coupons since the start. Ironically, the first Chickfila we stopped at (and one of the only ones), he forgot to use them so they haven't been as useful as he initially thought. They did end up saving him $10 at one point though. Gotta have those coups.
