Day 66 ~ 1056.9 - 1079
It's funny, a few days ago Papa Bear mentioned that maybe with all of these upcoming road crossings, there'd be some trail magic. Well between the second hand trail magic yesterday and the happenings today, I'd say he was right on!
It was nearing lunchtime when we passed a gentleman on a horse who told us about some trail angels up ahead. We weren't familar with the location he'd named, and didn't ask. We were getting hungry, and our minds filled with the endless possibilities that lie ahead. Finally, we stopped to figure out that the trail angels were a few miles ahead. We hiked fast, until we arrived at a trailhead parking lot, where sat a pristine 1978 VW bus in green..."Kermie". What a fine sight!
Accompanying Kermie were Kermit and Jeannie-Bug. We were served lots of coffee, bananas, pastries, and coversation. I rinsed my dirt-caked legs with their solar shower. We sat in chairs in the shade for a long while until it was time to get back to the trail. How amazing that perfect strangers can reach out to us dirty, stinky, unemployed hikers and do something so kind. It makes my heart happy.
