Legolas is a Lego lantern that found me on the clearance shelf at the REI in Rockville, MD over a year ago. He has since been on every backpacking trip that I have been on, as well as some other trips too!
I keep him around for several reasons. One he is a great conversation starter and ice-breaker with other people on the trail. Additionally he IS a lantern, so he works well to keep the tent lite up while reading at night. And lastly, I take pictures of him where ever I go, like the traveling gnome. Oh, and he's AWESOME!
Legolas has his own Facebook page too. However, the powers that be realized that Legolas is the same name as the elf in LotR so his name on FB is Ogel Legoman.

Hello there,
ReplyDeleteYou made a comment on my blog in December of 2010 before your thru-hike of the PCT.
My son and I are going to do a PCT attempt this coming year 2012 and I was curious how your hike went.
I'm digging Legolas by the way :)
Thanks Granola! I enjoy following your blog and I am totally doing the Wonderland Trail someday!
ReplyDeleteI am thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail beginning sometime early next year, I guess I should've been more specific (those potatoes are coming with tho) :-)
I have now seen the PCT, though. I saw a Trail head for it in Stehekin this summer. I was quite excited thinking on a trail that stretched over peaks, passes, and deserts all the way to Mexico - really captures the imagination of what's around the bend!
