Trail Magic is an unexpected gift on the trail. It can be as simple as jugs of clean water, sodas in a cooler, an offered lawn for tenting, or a ride into town. Sometimes it is much more than that. “Fresh Ground” sets up a mobile cafe along the trail and offers free food, drink, and great conversation. He feeds all comers as much as they wish. Hot dogs (fried in bacon grease), pasta, eggs with cheese skillet, fruits, and lots of munchies. This is his way of giving back to the trail from his previous thru hike attempts.
Yesterday Fresh Ground was at Woody Gap, GA and his mobile cafe will be moving North soon. I hope I see him and his fried hotdogs again!
