Trail Magic

One of the nice things we get to experience while walking the AT is what is commonly referred to as "trail magic." Some times it consists merely of drinking water in gallon jugs left in a crate by the trail. The other day a couple by the last name of Burton left a cooler full of goodies and a case of half liter bottles of water in a parking lot. They put a sign by the trail to make sure hikers would not miss their gift.

The picture with this blog was made by Adam as we experienced some very special trail magic. We met Maria and Gary as they walked hand in hand along the AT. I gave them one of the cards my daughter-in-love made up for me to hand out as we hike.  The card directs people to my blog and FB page. The conversation that ensued led them to invite us to share their picnic with them. They spread a blanket right on the trail and placed all their goodies out. We helped ourselves and had great conversation while eating.

So Maria and Gary, if you read this post please receive our sincere thanks. 

Trail Magic.  A neat way to bless weary travelers. May our Lord grant all of us the eyes to see how we, as serious followers of Jesus, can bless others in every day life.
