Hey guys. I did a short section hike this weekend from Hot Springs to Max Patch and on the second day, I came across a group of hikers (didn't know they were thru-hikers yet) on our way to Walnut Mountain Shelter.
They offered us some Sweet Water because my filter (the highly over priced, super crappy Hyperflow) broke....again.
Anyways, I guess it was my first experience with Trail Magic...it was great.
They were doing a little flip-flopping and I told them I'd leave the drops at Max Patch. Well, luckily for us, we ran into them again at the summit of Max Patch and we got to talking.
That's when I learned they were thru-hikers on their way to Springer, only two weeks left! We were all super excited to finally meet some thru-hikers and they were awesome!
I remember two of their names: Songbird and Lightning Rod. Does anyone know who I'm talking about and maybe would you know the names of the other two that were with them?
Also, if any of you read this...thanks so much for your generosity. You guys are freaking awesome and inspire me even more to get out and do a thru-hike! I hope you guys have a safe two weeks and CONGRATS when you finally finish it up!!
