I never really imagined how much support there is for the the AT Thru Hiker. Check out this message left for us on a rock. It is little things like this - that make those big 18-20 mile days feel worth it. People really do care about us. The other day - a girl - believe her trail name was Ranger - was just sitting on an overpass with a couple boxes of Little Debbies and Cheese and Crackers. She had hiked it 3 years ago - and was just hanging out. That may sound strange - till you have experienced this community of hikers. I am already planning on coming back out next year to be a trail angel as well. A handfull of drinks, snacks, and a smiling face goes along way with a tired hiker.
