Today I uncharacteristically said goodbye to everyone before heading off to resupply . Waiting and her Spec Forces boyfriend Phil offered to help get a ride to town with me. In route we crossed the longest suspension bridge on the trail where hikers are challenged to jump down into three James river. No way I thought but “coincidences” were just beginning starting with walking across a challenge with a SF dude and his girl. I don’t know how old is too
old to plunge 30 feet but today I was old enough.
After we got out Onesimus walked up to us in the middle of the bridge and offered us a ride to town in his camper. He is a two time thru hiker who was also a spec ops army. Coincidences? Today is a good day. We came to town, I completed the trifecta, I got an Italian sub, ice cream and recharged my phone. Back to the trail for more coincidences. when life is simplified the coincidences become clear.
congratulations! you are thoroughly initiated into trail life now! so glad to see you back on trail….. go easy. praying you on. j
