Welcome to PA. I’ve crossed the Mason Dixon Line.  I’m officially in the North. 

The first ten miles this morning were all about the Pen Mar Park concession stand.  The very thought of a soft drink can make you walk faster. Your mind wanders and dreams of hamburgers, fries, soda, and ice cream. 

The Park is beautiful, but the concession stand was closed. What heart break. 

They say the Trail provides…and it did. In the form of Trail Magic. Two young men showed up with food and drinks. We were offered hot dogs, chips, Gatorade, beer, and much more. A few hours were lost in the Park just chilling on a bench in the shade. My kind of lunch break!

These random acts of kindness are inspiring.  The world is full of kind and generous people.  

Pay it forward.
