Cragun Foulger had long dreamed of completing the 45-mile hike (徒步旅行) along the west coast of Vancouver Island.
But Foulger’s trip to Vancouver Island earlier this month was almost ruined after his airline lost all of his hiking gear (装备). He said he was overcome with grief in about 15 minutes.
Foulger had spent a lot of time on the “West Coast Trail, Beautiful British Columbia” Facebook group preparing for the trip. Once he accepted that he would not be going on the hike, he posted a message to the group to explain what happened and to thank everyone for their help in planning the trip.
“There were a lot of people in the group saying, ‘No, you can’t do that’,” Foulger said. Group members were all strangers to Foulger. They offered to pick him up and provided him with a backpack, tent, sleeping bag and other necessary equipment. Foulger ended up thanking 19 people in his Facebook post. He completed the hike and made many new friends along the way. The experience was “beyond what I could have imagined,” he said.
