Blazes

Another glorious day on the AT.  I met a man, probably in his 80's who was delightful.  He walks the trail everyday.  He was a little later getting out today because he had breakfast with friends.  We both remarked how we wouldn't have met each other today if he was out at his usual time.  Fate is funny.  I'm glad fate brought us together today.  I will see him again on the trail, I'm sure.


A volunteer was also out repainting the blaze markers.  I spoke with him for a bit.  He was quiet and soft spoken.  A calming source in the hectic world.  I thanked him for his efforts.


I am thankful for the ability to run and meet these wonderful human beings on the Appalachian Trail.
