Northbound Appalachian Trail (AT) hikers Stats (L), from Connecticut, and Bath, Tennessee, arrive at Fresh Ground's (R) trail kitchen for dinner along the AT in Halifax, Pennsylvania, on May 3, 2023. Tim "Fresh Ground" Davis began driving along the AT eleven years ago. He now spends six months of the year living out of his van, and the occasional motel, offering home cooked meals for free to hikers in an act of "trail magic." He does not disclose his exact location to hikers, but keeps track of where people are on the trail as a way to determine where he sets up his kitchen. Fresh Ground cooks the food fresh as people arrive to avoid waste.
