On the way from the falls we stopped at Jack's cabin.He hikes 3 miles out to the trailhead to get into his pickup truck to get supplies, and then of course 3 miles back with his backpack full. He is about to turn 90. It is Mongolian horse hair behind him - Jack makes violin bows. What a great man... Meeting Jack was certainly the highlight of the great hike. When we come back, we will have tea with Jack, and bring him some bacon and eggs.

Jack English žije ve srubu v divočině. Bude mu 90, a když jde nakupovat, dá si na záda krosnu a jde 5 km k autu, jede do obchodu, a pak s plnou krosnou šplhá těch 5 km zpátky. Nemá tekoucí vodu ani elekřinu, ale má rádio a je velice v obraze pokud jde o světové dění. Dům ve městě nechal synovi a odstěhoval se do chaloupky, kterou postavil před lety s manželkou. Vyprávěl nám jak moc mu tam chybí.
