Picked up by two of the finest people you could meet, @adventurepreacher and @boxcar_hikes, to camp with a bunch of friends, old and new. Fed, and fed some more by the incredible @ftthruhike#trailangels
Strangers providing food, information, and assistance with logistics to ensure that everyone can embrace the trail in a way that resonates with them.
These acts of kindness ripple through the journey of every hiker, creating an atmosphere where the trail becomes not just a path but a shared venture of warmth, encouragement, and camaraderie, making the trail a place of inclusive beauty.
People putting others before themselves, a community driven by compassion, and the desire to help everyone experience the trail in a way that best suits them.
They fattened me up and then walked me into Big Cypress swamp for the gators.
