We met our first trail angel on our first day here in California. He is our biggest fan yet! We were minding our own business while shopping for our first two weeks of food at the local Trader Joe's when one of the friendly sales associates come up to us and asked us if we were finding everything okay. I guess by the look of what we were buying he asked if we were going camping. When we told him what we were doing, he reacted like he had won the lottery; he was so excited. He had just decided that day to hike the John Muir Trail so he had a LOT of questions for us which constantly distracted us, thus prolonging our shopping experience to almost a painful state. This didn't just happen once, he came up again, and again, and again with more questions and massive amounts of excitement for us. Excitement is contagious and, well it did really bring our spirits up. In fact, he was so excited he brought over flowers for us to enjoy before we started our adventure. That's right, we got flowers from our Trader Joe's fan! Trader Joe's--You're Awesome!
