I've been contemplating this whole trail name thing for a while now, trying to decide between
keeping my old name from the AT (Amtrak), or figuring out a new/better name for myself for this round.

- I can also say it derives from Man-(on-the)-Go, which is very far fetched and was completely by accident. But it does give it some extra points.
