Who is the most interesting person you have ever met?
I’m an avid hiker and had the opportunity to meet Doug McFalls, who was the winter caretaker of the Lodge at Mt. LeConte in the Smoky Mountains this past summer. Mt. Leconte is the third highest peak in the Great Smoky National Park and the Lodge is open from March through October. Doug stayed at the Lodge during the winter months and blogged about his experience being the winter caretaker through the use of an air card and solar panel powered laptop. It was amazing to see the pictures of my favorite place on Earth covered in 3-4 feet of snow.
