Not only are there other hikers at KO, there are also tons of people who just get their kicks from helping you. I feel like I'm in debt to the hiking community already, which is kind of the point. Being nice to people because that's what they would do, and paying it forward when you're helped yourself.
Seriously though, at lunch we were all avoiding thinking about the packages of tuna in our food bags when a past thru named Phoenix Rising afford us sandwiches. While we were eating sandwiches, another guy, Doctor Sole, invited us over so he could take care of our feet. I'm conditioned to say no when offered something because of mall kiosks and timeshare salesmen, but then I realized they don't want anything other than your company and for you to help others when you can.

Okay I'm tired!
Wow. It sounds like this is almost a spiritual experience for you guys. What a great community of fellow travelers you have found! Cindy and I love reading your posts. Keep it up! I'm praying that this will be a life-changing experience for you both and it's looking very promising so far
ReplyDeleteSafe journey.

ReplyDeleteHope all is well and be safe!
You guys really do have the best website address ever. I remembered it on the first try.
ReplyDeleteIt was really fun meeting you this weekend. Here is my burning question: How is Bridesmaid doing with his trail name? Is he going to keep it?
Hope you're having fun! I thought of you guys while I went back to work today...sigh...hike some miles for me!
