    Rain Man has passed away.

    Neo who post on here sometimes posted this on FB today.
    Last night my friend also known by his trail name "Rain Man" passed away. I am really going to miss him.
    Rain Man posted on here a lot and was one of the main organizers of the Backpacker meetup group

    Who cares about showers, gourmet food, using flush toilets. Just keep on walking and being away from it all.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    A loss. He shared ideas and materials with DIY hammockers. Probably a bigger loss to those who knew him well.

    RIP rainman. Sorry to hear of our loss. He gave great advice on here and I enjoyed learning from his posts and trip reports. What a bummer.

    Rain Man was one of the only people I knew who section hiked the entire AT. That took a lot of dedication and was quite an accomplishment.
