I was headed for Blueberry Patch Hostel near Hiawassee Ga. When I got to the road at Dicks Creek Gap I met Jane Kurk and her mother Ethelwyn Bowen, they were handing out fruit. They offered to give me a ride to the hostel. They were both very nice.
I got to the hostel at 12:30pm. It's a Christian ministry operated by Gary and Lennie Poteat. I got a bunk, hot shower, they did my laundry, and they serve breakfast. All donation based. There's ten backpackers here now. It's a great place.
Wanderlust who I met at Neal's Gap is here. He's from NY. He's a young guy and a strong hiker.
Five of us went into town to Big Al's Pizza.
It's nice having a relaxing day.

I was feeling sorry for myself being stuck inside on a cold Spring Break, but at least I have an inside. This trek is an inspiration and something I've thought of doing but may have to settle for following your journey. The pics provide an amazing glimpse into what it must be like on the trail. On to New Hampshire.
ReplyDeleteOf course I meant Maine. Didn't realize I'd be hatman, but didn't realize you'd be Blazer.
