Very sorry to hear about the passing of Donna "L-Rod" Saufley, one of the legendary trail angels who ran Hiker Heaven on the PCT. I had the chance to interview her in 2016 and could feel her love for the trail in every answer. gofundme.com/f/jeff-and-donn…

I teased this story a little bit last week: Corey Buhay wrote about the experience of following in her mentor, friend, and ex-boyfriend's final footsteps after he died on the Grand Traverse. A little in awe at what she's accomplished here. backpacker.com/stories/essay…
