Angels and Magic

I always get the spelling wrong on Angle and Angel. In this post I will hopefully use the correct word. Angel - the white human-bird things that have halos above their heads. 

Today we left our campsite at 8:00. We walked about .5 miles and refilled our water and ate breakfast. After walking for about 1 mile, a local hiker told us that there is trail magic ahead. Trail magic is when someone or some people perform a kind deed to the hikers. These people are called Angels. After walking another 2 miles we came to road and there was a Baptispt church group giving out burgers, apples, clementines, cookies, brownies, chips, soda, and much more. Even though we just ate, we were not going to say no to some hot food. We stayed there for about 1.5 hours eating food and talking to other hikers and the church group. This gave us a late start for the days hike, but we didn't mind. Around 2:00 Danae and I agreed that this was our most difficult day. There were not many flat sections on the trail. It was mostly steep climbs and steep descends. Even with the late start and the difficult terrain, we made it 12.6 miles today!
