This was a banner day! After leaving Blue Mountain and hiking a mile, bingo, trail magic. A VFW was grilling hot dogs and had cold drinks and snacks. They only do this one time each year. Oh, almost forgot - cold beer. Although it was only 9:30 local time I rationalize that it had to be 5:00 somewhere. Enjoyed the brew. The next gap over, three miles down the trail was another trail magic. Since this was a Baptist group, no beer but great goodies including homemade cookies! Again, they only do this one time each year. After a short prayer, I moved on. Two miles and another gap brought another amazing event. Another trail magic. Hamburgers and beer. Not just whimpy frozen store patties but manly sized fresh larger than the bun slabs. Did I mention beer? Finally on the way up Tray Mountain there was a young family coming down. She asked if I wanted a Snickers? First I declined and she said she had bought them for the hikers
But she had no luck giving them away. I took two. A day for the record book! Three major trail magic events AND Snickers!
