We expected to see some friends, and were pleasantly surprised to run into some others we hadn't planned to see as well. At one park in Charlotte someone recognized our car and texted me to see if we were around, so that was a fun spontaneous meet-up!
But the funniest unexpected meet-up was at our first stop in Old Fort, NC. The Wray family had all picked a local park to meet at for lunch, which was fun... and while were sitting there, a biker comes through on his way to a trailhead -- and it turned out to be Colsen's new friend Mac from Grove City! Here we were a good 8 hours away from GC, and we run into someone from there -- in a tiny, remote park!
This is one for the record books -- along with when we ran into friends from Spencerport, NY at the Biltmore in Asheville NC. Or when we ran into other friends from Columbia, SC also at the Biltmore the next year.
But my biggest small world story is when I ran into a friend from college at a random youth hostel in Salzburg, Austria. I hadn't seen her since -- until LAST NIGHT! Turns out she now lives here in Grove City and we met up at a church and went to a mutual friend's house afterwards.
It really is a small world, folks.
