Larry, the Hiking Pirate…

Posted by faegirl on November 3rd, 2007 filed in larry, travel buddy

I’ve mentioned before that I have a travel buddy named Larry:

Larry is a wooden bank that was given to me by a person as a thank you for letting her and her boyfriend stay at my aunt’s Cape house.  Much lighter than he actually looks, also.  Larry has come on a bunch of hikes with me and others throughout New Hampshire and Massachusetts…here he is at Mt. Greylock, the highest point in Massachusetts (on a day with weather very similar to today’s):

He also came along with me on my second trip up Mt. Washington this past summer:

And here he is at the ridge-line between North and South Hancock nice and snug in my pack:

People always seem a bit confused by him, but warm up really quickly. Unfortunately, I dropped him at the summit of Mt. Clay and he has crazing all around his neck, so I soon might be left with only Larry’s head…but that would make him lighter, so who knows!
