Refreshments!


Bear Necessities!

The sign says "BEARS ARE ACTIVE IN THIS AREA. DO NOT LEAVE DOOR OPEN."

How do I know this? Read Chapter 7 of "A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail", Copyright © 1998 by Bill Bryson, Broadway Books, New York. Must reading for anyone interested in hiking the Appalachin Trail.
