Trail Magic Pt 2

This is just a really cool rock feature I've never seen before…but I have another story to tell. Yesterday while I was hiking through a nice forest I kept smelling hot dogs on the grill. I thought I was getting hiker hunger or having a stroke. I kept hiking for about 3 or 4 miles and kept getting a whiff of hot dogs…i get to a forest road where guys are handing out sodas and fruit, but not grilling there. Sure enough, about 3 or 4 miles later bernt and I happened upon more trail magic (the folks from a previous post where I had 5 hot dogs) and they were cooking hot dogs…i could smell that food from miles away, and now it's becoming a story that Trash Panda (My trail name) can smell free food from up to 10 miles away.

This section of desert is supposed to be the hardest part of the desert, but I've run into trail magic almost every day. People are going out of their way to keep water caches stocked, driving people to town, cooking food. The environment of awesome people is astounding…the Isuzu belongs to "coppertone" and this is the third time I've run into him and the third time I've had shade while enjoying cookies and a root beer float. This guy is top notch.
