Trail Talkin': Buena Vista, Virginia

Dad stopped off in a small town to resupply and was able to grab some Chick-fil-A while he was there (and I am sure a milkshake or two- yum!). The following are some photos of the trek in as well as some hiking buddies (captions).

He also met a section hiker and his dog that he liked... they surprised some of the hikers with breakfast. Love trail magic. Below is an email from "Slim Jim" to Dad (notice the trail names!). Feel free to email this guy or become a participant in trail magic. On a side note, maybe Dad will get a hound when he comes home, he really liked that dog! (jamesbaumjr@hotmail.com)

Milk Shake,

Hope you guys enjoyed the trail magic. Martha didn't quite get the order right because I had poor cell service on Saturday night and she'd had a little too much to drink at her golf tournament. :) And forget about sending us money, just pass the trail magic on to someone else in need. I know those special moments of unexpected kindness inside the hiker community are what make hiking so much fun after a couple of tough days.

Chick-fil-a
710 Shenandoah Village Dr Waynesboro, VA 22980

Just checked the locater, no Chick-fil-a in Harpers Ferry.

Enjoy your hike,

Slim Jim and Buddy Coonhound

Enjoy!
