Climbed up a beautiful mountain up and over 5,700 feet. The trail was pleasant all the way with an easy descent down to a small pond which was not suitable for water. I crossed a road and hiked around the perimeter of a sportsman shooting club. This section was not pleasant due to unnecessary ups and downs because of private property restrictions in the area.
I arrived at Hikertown, on Highway 138 around 1pm. This facility is owned by Richard Scaggs. Mr. Scaggs takes an active part in caring for the hikers when he is in town, but the leaves the overall operations to Bob. They are A-No.1 troops. They provided what we needed most - a night's rest and good food, particular Mr. Scagg's Belgium Waffles. I told him that he is the first person I've ever met, outside my family, who likes a mixture of peanut butter and butter to put on the waffles. It was like being at home.
Hikertown is like being on a movie set with no cameras. What a unique place.
Shirley will be here tomorrow.
Keep hiking,
Greybeard

Hey Carl if you think of it, why don't you add your coordinates on your posts so we can follow you on a map or google or a GPS? Just a thought.
