[pct-l] How not to be an a-hole on the PCT

[Cat Nelson]

That reminds me, when I am trail angeling I do not accept money. (Cuts down
on Bear Box trailhead robbery) I tell everyone I want them to pay it
forward.

I figure if God wants me to do this, then he will bless it and provide a
way. I test God. I ask Him to provide, and He does. When He doesn't, I move
on to something else that will fulfill my purpose here on earth. I cast out
ideas to people I know and who know my history and doors opens or close, by
human participation or devine intervention. From the goodness (love) in
their hearts. Most people wouldn't know I'm a Christian useless they
understand my values. I don't hand out tracts, never mention religion, just
love the stinky trail trash, by meeting their needs.My trail angeling is
not a preaching platform. It is what it is, a way to bless others and in
doing so modeling WWJD. I'm not perfect, just a pilgrim trying to find my
way. I'm a caregiver to the core, currently a Nanny. I am what I am...and
there is a place on the trail for all of us and you are welcome at my
table, or fire, to my pancakes, or my fuel, or water, whatever.
