Trail Magic!


My first trail magic!  Trail magic as I understand it was started in Georgia by the Boy Scouts.  They would come out to some of the larger road crossings and provide food and water for weary thru-hikers.  The term trail magic has since expanded to cover any form of good will or aide to AT hikers.  I was pleasently supprised to come across this first small offering.

 Later in the day I came across 'Fresh Ground'.  A former thru-hiker himself, Fresh Ground comes out early in the season to provide hot coffee, soup, fruit and hot dogs for hikers.  Its a great surprise to come out of 12+ miles of trail to find a hot cup of Coco!  He is especially proud of his homemade gadgets for making coffee on the trail.
