I hope this is appropriate, but Dirk Jellito, was a member of this post. Mostly known for Uintas, Windrivers, and Wasatch alpine lake exploits, passed Wednesday from a battle with cancer.
I met Dirk through this message board, when I challenged posters to give me their most remote lakes they had been to in the Uintas, then I gave 4 examples of some of my remote lakes. He not only matched me, lake for lake, but top it.
Great backpacker, fisherman, and mostly a outstanding family man.
His obituary was in the paper today. I hope some of you got to know him. He will be missed.
