My grandparents lived on the trail. They would bring the hikers in and cook them dinner and let them take showers. It was a different time back then, but I remember sharing Sunday dinner with a lot of strangers.

Yep, trail magic is real magic. Just humans being good to each other.

What an incredible experience that must have been.
