The universe provides everything we need exactly when we need it

Today it brought Bill and Jeff. So here I am hiking in the rain and
the wind and even hail (what a hoot) and around the corner is Bill and
Jeff with a big tent. Now I have read about trail magic but, man did I
see some in action today! These guys were out here in the nastiest
weather grilling up CHEESEBURGERS for thru-hikers! I could hardly
believe that anyone would be that giving. What an effort! I was
talking with some other hikers later and we all agreed that it
inspired us all to want to do trail magic for hikers in the future.

I know what you're all thinking, yes I am a vegetarian...but not
today. (Of course it wasn't until I was snarfing down the second one
that I learned they had veggie burgers. It's not like I was going to
ask to see the menu). I don't think so. It's called being flexible
and grateful and when somebody is out in nasty weather wanting to
grill you a cheesy burger, you eat it! And maybe another! And you
love it! Bill and Jeff, you guys are totally awesome. Thank you.

I hiked 12.6 miles today from the Blue mountain shelter and up and
over Tray mountain. It was so much easier than I had remembered. I had
been dreading that climb all along. Who knows maybe it was the
cheeseburgers. Ha.
