WONDERFUL Pictures of Hikers!

There's a wonderful story in the 27 May 2007 issue of the Knoxville News Sentinel. It's written by Morgan Simmons, and illustrated by the photographs of the paper's photojournalist Paul Efird. The title is "A.T. trail pix; Hikers say 'cheese' for sandwiches."

The photos are shot against a plain white background, and were posed at Davenport Gap, at the north end of the Smokies. There are 8 hikers pictured: Bill Sugrue, 62, of Falls Church, Va.; Raymond Quan, from New Brunswick, Canada, and Jeff Palmer, 62, is from Cazenovia, N.Y.; Hans "Story" Uecker, 29, Dillon, CO; Peter "Flapjack" Priole, 37, Staten Island, NY; Elliot "Skittles" Tracey, Dillon, CO; Dave "Chaco" Dalrymple, of Austin, TX; and Allen "Rebel Dreamer" Davis, 22, of Smithville, N.C.

Great photos, and a little note about each hiker including how long it took each one to hike through the Smokies. Somebody get these folks to publish their photos elsewhere for broader circulation. Were there more taken? On more days?
