I stayed well clear of that violence. The trail turned into dirt road, and the hard-pack gave my feet a pounding.<\/p><p>As I was approaching a T-junction, a pickup truck passed, stopped, and reversed back to the junction. When I got to him, he asked me if I needed anything, but I was all set. It is so great to see the kindness of others which is much more apparent on these trips than in real life. He went well out of his way to see if I needed any help, and I am grateful for people watching out for us like him. He was familiar with the trail and had talked to many hikers before, and asked to take my picture.
