I have to say that Dennis is one very interesting dude. He left a handful of us just about speechless telling us about his life one year at Headwaters. One story, he was on St. Helens planting trees for the forestry when it erupted and barely made it out alive. That incident made him realize how he should live life to its fullest, so that next Fall he went into the wilderness to live one year all by himself. Just him and an animal skin coat and barely anything else. Made a teepee and lived like Jeriamiah Johnson thru winter. He had some other very fascinating tales about that year. Of course many of us have seen him in the wee hours at ridecamp walking around naked. Only at an endurance ride is that just perfectly ok. -----------Karla
I did ask him if it was cold up there and he went off into explanations about wind chill factors. He was fully clothed when we talked at the finish. Nancy
