Jim Pugh is a Wakely veteran and trusted spiritual advisor.  For a Massachusetts guy he knows his Adirondack lore.  This year Jim took it real slow - trading a sure top ten finish for a day touring the trail at the trail's pace.  He sees things that are not there and talks about it.  He's even got the photos to prove it so don't miss his race report:

(Jim took 4th place last year with a sub-6 hour time)
