SOBO sighting in Pennsylvania

#1

My partner and I went for a dayhike yesterday at the Pinnacle (just east of Port Clinton in PA). We ran into a couple of SOBO thruhikers on the AT, and on our way back to our car stopped off at Windsor Furnace shelter to do a bit of trail magic with our bag of M&Ms.

There were about 7 folks at the shelter, all thru-hikers. Medicine Man, Sunshine, and Ari were the names that we caught.

Nice to run into thru-hikers on what we though was just going to be a little dayhike.

And what made them so special, those “thru-hikers”?

Well, they were special to me. My partner and I had just finished our first serious conversation about how we might make 2005 work for me, and it felt like a bit of trail magic to run into thru-hikers right then.

They are special to me too. One of them,Ari, is my son. Glad to hear that he is meeting thoughtful people who are willing to do something extra to make their day special(especially since that Saturday was Rosh Hashanah).

Can’t you read, wolf? They were SOBOs.
