| New spikes and no ice to use them on. |
I received some off trail magic on Thursday:
a new pair of MicroSpikes. I knew I was
getting a pair—a friend had sent me a message saying she was getting hooked up
on deeply discounted MicroSpikes and did I want in on the deal? I sent back my shoe size thinking in a day or
two I would be told how much I owed.
Instead they arrived on Thursday with a thank
you card from the map group. They had
gotten together quietly and bought the spikes for me. It was a complete surprise and very
sweet. It was something they didn’t have
to do, they said thank you—some of them profusely, and that was enough. This is one example of why I like being a
thru-hiker. Being helpful, doing kind
things isn’t a rarity in this circle.
I had enjoyed organizing the map buy; I had
the chance to chat with several people in the group and I really felt like part
of the group. It was a fun experience
and I can’t wait to meet them on the trail.
