Thanks again for joining us Michael (and Eric), and I enjoyed the bit of press. Maybe I'll get a new Tshirt that has "King of the Idiots" on it. Hope you find time to join us next year!
The week after the story ran I got an email from someone I don't know who says they met you on a peak. You just might be the most well-known peak bagger on Wall Street. Next year, hmm, I think I have a tax audit that week...
Matthew, Jeff, Rick and I were in the Davis Lakes Basin between Mts. Goddard and McGee doing a long dayhike four days after the article appeared. On the way down from Goddard we ran into these four guys out in the middle of nowhere. One of them happened to be a WSJ reader. We didn't mention who we were, but when he found we were out on a dayhike he connected the dots.
