I thought I'd start a thread asking if anyone else has any "small world stories" associated with the AT.
I had a fun one yesterday.
My wife and I went to one of our favorite restaurants in a neighboring town and sat at our usual place at the bar. As usual we looked at the he chalkboard listing the current selection of craft beers and as usual asked the bar tender to describe a few beyond their listed price and alcohol contents.
The one I asked about was beer called Myron's Walk and as expected I got knowledgable review-- including that it was a collaboration between CO and ME breweries.
I had never heard of the beer before but asked the bartender if he knew how the beer go its name. He said he did not, so I shared that it may well have inspired by one of the founders of the AT (Myron Avery was also the first 2000 miler).
To that, the bartender said he should have known that, because he had thru hiked the AT a couple years ago, and I introduced myself and Jen and we had a nice conversation.
The Myron's Walk was pretty good.

How cool is that.
Anyone else have any "Small World" stories associate with the AT? I have others, but they have been told many times before, and it's nice to have a new one. How about yours?
