Chris Van Loon posted on Free Republic as "TrappedInLiberalHell". You can find this linked on the Free Republic Memorial Wall.
Before his tragic demise, Chris and Fiona married, and hiked the Pacific Coast Trail. He had posted a lengthy journal containing his plans, his preparations, and much of the journey itself.
Those of us on the UT came to know Fiona as Kangaroo Jacqui. She was trying to pull herself together at that point, but she was really very shattered; pretty much beyond anything we were able to hug back together.
Thank you for clearing that all up.......it was very confusing.
