Last year a forum member unknown to me saw my start date from SJPdP, and said he'd be walking around the same time snd that he'd be wearing a hat that said "Life is Good" on it and he thought I'd see him. I thought to myself "Yeah, right, no way will I happen to see this guy amongst so many walkers heading out". A week later while I was resting at the top of the Ibaneta Pass, sure enough, I saw a guy wearing that hat. As he passed by, I asked him if his name was Joe Flavin from the forum, and yes, it was him!
