I picked up my first care package of my GA->ME hike, a personal favorite since 1989: Homemade no-bake cookies!
They came with instructions to share.
Besos, a. s. :)
And the Hiawassee Inn attendant a few minutes ago gave me a ticket to the McConnell Memorial Baptist Church 2010 Wild Game Supper, to be held tonight, down the street.
"You ever eat bear meat?" was how that convo started.
"No, " I answered.
"You ever eat deer meat?"
"A few days ago," I said (the venison stew at Blaze of Glory was the only time I can recall).
I'm not caught by surprise by this, because hikers last summer told me about religion and trail maj coming intertwined in the South. I'm praying for a low-key pitch, but this being a Baptist event, I'm expecting a hectoring.
The German mother-son team I mentioned a while ago beat the odds and made it here. Good for them!
Cheers,
Ink
6-year-old Hannah is selling Girl Scout cookies for the first time. We bought you some "Thin Mints".
