        • My favourite:  Trail Magic:"Unexpected generosity from a non-hiker. One unfortunate trend in recent years is that trail magic is becoming so common that "some" hikers now expect it, and become rude when it isn't offered."

        • ​The Omelette Guy-video, 5 Feb 2019, "Carl first heard of it while reading a book about the Appalachian Trail—acts of generosity in wild settings, called trail magic. Intrigued, he decided to cook up some magic of his own in the form of a scrambled egg sanctuary in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. The Omelette Guy, as he calls himself, now spends his retirement serving all-you-can-eat eggs to hungry thru-hikers.
