The morning started off cool but not too bad. Using the AT Guide, we are able to identify landmarks such as springs, roads, shelters, etc. This morning the Guide did not identify a parking lot so I was quite annoyed to see a bunch of cars parked in the woods. As we approached we started seeing signs for thru-hikers. They pointed us to a canopy. WOW! Trail Magic. This father and son team hiked the AT in 2002 and have, every year since then, given trail magic to thru-hikers. They had scrambled eggs, kilbosa, sausage, bacon, hash browns, biscuits, bananas, oranges, apples, coffee, orange juice, cookies, Gatorade, and more. It was quite a spread. That was very generous of them and we could tell they really enjoyed doing it.
That's so totally awesome! I wonder how many hikers they feed in a day.
