Trail Magiiiic

So much to write about. So much to ponder about the kindness of strangers. All I can say for now is I’ve had an incredible amount of trail magic out here. It’s wonderful.

cookouts with burgers, hot dogs and pretty much anything you can imagine, coolers with soda and beer, snacks hanging from trees, strangers letting me sleep in their homes, lawns to camp on, rides to and from towns, fellow hikers sharing precious food or water and even $$!

I’ve hiked over 700 miles now and still moving north inspired by the depth of encouragement and support I’ve received from strangers. Great people are everywhere. Simply wonderful. I haven’t even finished the trail yet and I want to give back. When I get home to Maryland I’m going to hook people uuuup!
