Dave and his "Trail Angels"

On Thursday, Dave met some "Trail Angels" along the way in Brushy Mountain, Virginia.  Friends Joe and Karen from Madison, Ohio were driving back from Florida and stopped to visit Dave along the way. They shared these pictures with Boni, Dave's sister. She forwarded them on to us.

Dave was just arriving.  Karen and Joe had just gotten there, too! Perfect timing!

                                                             

Dave couldn't wait to get his pack off!  Karen helped!

Karen said, "No sweat!"

 Had breakfast with Joe and Karen at a restaurant in Marion, VA.

   They were kind enough to take Dave to pick up a package at the Post Office.
