Later I came to a roadway with a beautiful lookout called Height of the Land. There were a few cars and tourists about, and while I took pictures of some tiger lilies, a couple came up and struck up a conversation. The woman asked if I'd like a Starbucks, which I reflexively said yes to (Rule #1 of long distance hiking is never turn down anything that might be calories). Then it occurred to me that we were a long way from a Starbucks.
Off she went to her car and when she returned she offered me a chilled frappucino. Then her husband pulled out a beer. And then some leftover fried chicken, and some Doritos, and some lemonade. Luckily Legs appeared saving me from bursting into tears of joy, and more beer appeared. Then Timber arrived and some Cheetos came out. Then some apple chips.
Then, just as they were leaving out came another five beers. Suffice to say we had a good long break there. And to Cynthia and Bart, if you're reading this, you are truly the most angelic of Trail Angels.
