Trail Angel session coming up.

At some point in August I plan on getting out on the A.T. and doing some “Trail Angel” activity. So many helped me along the way, now it is my turn. My dilemma is to determine where I will have the most impact. Where will the majority of hikers be passing through on a given day? In mid August I would guess the main body would be in the VT/NH sections.

My plan is to take some coolers full of soft drinks, energy drinks and bottled water. Food will be things that are simple to grill, such as hot dogs, burgers and veggie burgers, rolls, and maybe some salads and such. I’m looking forward to meeting some number of this years crop of thru-hikers. On Twitter.com I see that some number are already up in Maine. They’re doing consistent near-thirty mile days and are just super human. I believe on my single best day I did something like 26 miles, but as a rule was around 17 miles.

If things work out I will try to do a few days out on the trail as well; it will be fun to hang the hammock and be in the midst of those that are on the hike of their lives.

Dennis.
