#HikerChat - Bring the trail magic
HikerChat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker A8: I wouldn't turn it down, someone wants to help so I wouldn't deny them the feeling to do so @TheSoCalHiker. #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8 If I didn't really need the help & thought s/one else might need it more. #HikerChat

#HIKERCHAT A7) Even the shortest hikes carry portent. Although longer hikes tend to populate with more people in the "magic know."

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports Sometimes kindness is the small things and not something grand. So yeah I can see it being day hikes as well. #HikerChat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8. Again, if it is within sight of my car, I'd definitely turn it down. #hikerchat

A8: Much like my A7 answer, I'd turn it out if I'm doing well and leave it for those in need. #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker And sometimes you don't (Mounds) @TheSoCalHiker @AdventureCrtrs @MelodramaBabs #hikerchat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports A7 It can happen anytime. Two minutes into a family hike and found a blueberry patch. #hikerchat

A8: I might pass if I didn’t really need or want it at the moment.
Directly proportional to # of days on the trail.

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker if I really don't need what's being offered. I would ask them to pay it forward to the next person/group A8 #hikerchat

replying to @RCGibby73 Yes sir @RCGibby73! Love being on the trail surrounded by pine trees. Yes please #Hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker A8 #hikerchat If it was trailhead hot dogs I’d have to turn it down as I’m vegetarian! @TheSoCalHiker

A8 - Not all magic is meant for you...you can add to the trail magic by leaving it for the next person. #hikerchat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports @TheSoCalHiker @AdventureCrtrs @MelodramaBabs *Pause* #Hikerchat I need to go to corner store.

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8 I have, when I had plenty of food/water myself; wanted to leave it for someone else. #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8: Only if I am 100% ready for what may come between then and the next stop. #Hikerchat

replying to @bushwhackingfoo @bushwhackingfoo @TETONsports and you're older than 5 years of age. #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker That's a good point, you can also re-magic the magic to someone else too further in @TheSoCalHiker #hikerchat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports A7) You never know, it just a matter of luck & timing. #HikerChat

replying to @Kootenaicountry haha how many magic gifs can we find? @Kootenaicountry @MelodramaBabs #hikerchat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports exactly - it is mostly for the other person to feel good about themselves ;) #hikerchat @TheSoCalHiker

replying to @Bernardine @Bernardine @TheSoCalHiker It's unusual for us to meet another soul on our Pyrenees mountain trails! It's the wildness I love #hikerchat

replying to @MelodramaBabs @MelodramaBabs Believe it or not, I’ve seen people pass up this. #hikerchat #taco


replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports @MelodramaBabs You could not be more wrong. You could try but you would not be successful. #hikerchat

replying to @MountainMatron @MountainMatron @TETONsports Are we talking physical or mental years? #hikerchat

#hikerchat A8: I never turn down an opportunity to get out and get moving if I can help it.

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8. yeah, I've turned sunscreen. You can't tell me what to do! 😎 #hikerchat

replying to @Wilderness1967 That’s a great perspective! @Wilderness1967 Take what you need…IF you need it. #hikerchat

replying to @MelodramaBabs @MelodramaBabs @Bernardine @RachelSciaccA @TETONsports @TheSoCalHiker Never see that in our Pyrenees mtns, ever! #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker When I think someone else could use it more. If someone gives me water or cooling towel it often goes to the dog. #hikerChat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8: Never, turning down a random moment of kindness from a person or the universe is bad juju #hikerchat

A9 - Fresh, crisp, cold caesar salad. Always. Without fail. Lord knows why. #hikerchat

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker a8: stubbornness is a dangerous trait. Let people help. It makes everyone feel better. #hikerchat

replying to @Happily_Ever_OD Yes @Happily_Ever_OD, love that forward thinking @TheSoCalHiker #hikerchat

replying to @TETONsports A9 #hikerchat Dreamt of finding a cache of cold beer on the JMT! Something sweet would’ve been a treat too. @TETONsports

replying to @TheSoCalHiker @TheSoCalHiker A8 If I knew the next person was in danger and needed it badly. (Joining late to drink from the firehose of #hikerchat
