There are trail names, earned on places like the Appalachian Trail.

Then there are highway names—bestowed upon hitchhikers by the motorists who give them a ride.

As the story goes, it was nearing dusk when I came across a young man making his way to Idaho to spend some quality time with his father.

Grab your marshmallows, graham crackers, and a blanket. Pull up a camp chair.

Because from this day forward, Hayden's highway name is Campfire.

When I set out to field-test my new Zoom H2 Essential Multi-Mic Handy Recorder (which I can't recommend highly enough), I assumed I was simply going to capture some random audio.

Apparently, God had other plans.

While riding public transportation from Glenwood Springs to Eagle, Colorado, a ray of sunshine entered my life by the name of Dan.

I'll cut to the chase: the world is a better place because Dan is in it. We need more people like him.

Was our meeting a sacred contract, divine destiny, or completely random? I'll likely never know.

What I do know is that some people leave your life better than they found it. Dan is one of those people.

Godspeed, my friend. We'll be in touch soon.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988.
