This time last week, we were enjoying the heck out of some trail magic on the AT alongside a member of our tramily, Bruiser! Our little spot on Dennytown Road seemed appropriate for setting up the goodies, and waiting for hikers. Before Bruiser even arrived, her section hiker friend Magnot, stopped in the parking lot for her lunch break. They were supposed to meet up somewhere else on the trail later that day, but in a series of serendipitous events, Bruiser pulled into the parking lot to meet us, and was very surprised to see Magnot there as well! We had a blast hanging out along the trail meeting a whole bunch of hikers, including a damn near triple crowner named Fainting Goat, and Two Clicks, whose instagram stories we’ve been living vicariously through. Their incredible timing was a real treat for Magnot, because she got to slackpack nine miles thanks to Bruiser! Eventually we packed up the leftover trail magic, and met back up with Magnot to grab some dinner and return her pack. Afterward, we returned to Dennytown Road to set up camp for the night. The next day we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast with Bruiser, went for a perfect AT hike to Anthony’s Nose, visited the Perkins Memorial Tower, and topped it all off with ice cream before parting ways. It was a perfect reunion with Bruiser, and we can’t wait to see her and Blue one day again soon! Thank you for being part of our trail family 💚🌲🍀✨ #appalachiantrail #trailmagic #thruhikers #trailwithdrawalsforever #trailfamily #traillife #vanlife #traillifemeetsvanlife #bearmountain #bearmountainbridge #anthonysnose #latergram #memorymonday #happytrails (at Appalachian Trail Bear Mountain NY)
