This photo came from Jim Kern's book,
Trail Reflections. Photo caption reads:
"HikaNation, the name of the cross-country hike,
was organized by Kern and supported along the way
by Monty Montgomery and his Airstream camper."

On-site HikaNation coordinator
Ret. USAF Lt. Col. "Monty" Montgomery's
van & airstream support was crucial to the
success of HikaNation.

Image description and artist note:

"I created the HikaNation letterhead at the request
of Bruce Ohlson. I don't remember the details of
the process, but I somehow got hold of markers and
paper and drew a caricature of a backpacker walking
across America from coast to coast."
