Making Nature Sacred-Chelsea Gilbert

The trail magic hiking blog, http://trailmagicarticles.blogspot.com/, found online tells stories of hikers experiences with trail magic on the Appalachian Trail. Trail magic is when people bring food, drinks, medical supplies or just conversation for those hiking. Although a very small number spoke negatively about what trail magic does, more people were grateful. Many who spoke in the article believe trail magic helps strengthen the hikers confidence to continue their journey. I believe they are right. It is so much easier to accomplish a goal when you know people are behind you supporting you. Also, many said, when you are out on the trail you normally would have to rely on what food you can carry in your pack or what can be sent to you in packages but trail magic helps that. Trail magic, supporters said, can pop up randomly on a section of the trail or they can be full out picnics volunteers set up. Trail magic is a very positive ac that increases one's chances to have a successful journey.
