Trail Angels & Magic

Trail Angels defined according to wikipedia:

a generous individual or group of individuals that provide acts of kindness to participants of outdoor events, on hiking trails or various biking routes. "Trail Angels" are commonly referred to in online hiking journals as friends of hikers, relatives or others persons who will often provide food, transportation, etc. to hikers on the trail.

My take on trail angels.... simply amazing.  The generousity of individuals is shining brightly on the Pacific Crest Trail.  We have been invited into peoples homes and vehicles.  We are smelly hikers with the goal of walking across the USA, and angels along the way are making our journey easier and more fulfilling.  Trail angels come in all different ways.  Trail magic is closely associated and generally defined as the acts of kindness.  Any form that it comes in is incredible. 

Our first trail angels were Nick & Jess.  They drove us 5 hours from Phoenix down to Campo, CA to start our journey.  Wonderful beginning.  We have been blessed with lots of trail magic in the form of water, beer, soda, apples, oranges, hard-boiled eggs, mango flavored coconut water (so good), and most recently a guinness brownie.  We have been welcomed into two different homes for the night.  The outpouring of support fills me up with a sense of community and good spirit.  Thanks to all the trail angels.  You are champions!

Love,
