I've seen a LOT of Kindness already on this trip as well:

- a lot of holding of doors for folkx

- I gave some extra ice to a fellow traveler and they offered me some Red Bull in return

- friendly associates at WalMart offering to help me with extra supplies

- I was able to give some folkx masks who needed them on a rough day they were having and needed to get in to WalMart

- a very nice Police Officer in TX didn't kick me out of a parking lot I wasn't supposed to be in but instead just asked that I be gone before a certain time

- my friend Sara has done some amazing googling for me whilst driving

- I picked up some trash in a Reserve. If you're going to travel, I highly recommend doing the Leave No Trace training and helping your fellow humans along the way.

- many fellow hikers took time to make sure Tristan and I knew where to find the Bison

- a nice couple offered an option for a good short hike at Badland's State Park

- Amy made me dinner AND breakfast AND offered her place for me to have a day to work

- two very nice waitresses at a restaurant in NE recognized I was out of town and offered options of where to stay/camp

- and last night, the Front Desk host at the Hilton that was booked, took the time to let me know who she knew was booked and other possible options in town for hotels

There is Kindness in the world. Let's keep passing it on! @KindHumans #KHAmbassador
