It's part of the reason we go to TM every year - my wife absolutely loves all the flat (day) hiking, especially with the meandering creek. She's also a huge fan of how well the TM store is 'curated' (her words).rlown wrote:I'd get Lazy and do E, but that's one of my fav's..
One of the first times I took her there, we had a full rack of ribs leftover from the night before. I mentioned I would just give them to some PCT hikers. Coming from NYC, the very idea of someone accepting some random person's leftovers simply didn't compute. I assured her it was not only perfectly ok, but that trekkers wouldl gladly accept.
So, we're in the store parking lot, and I cruise over to where a group were hanging at the benches. You should have seen the look of amazement on my wife's face as two starving guys jog after me to get the goods. They took it back like a trophy to share with their friends, regaling them with the offer that came out of the blue.
To this day, my wife loves telling this story to all her 'normal' business colleagues/friends, as if it's a tale from some wild exotic jungle safari.
