Tony's Hiking Adventure

Wolfpen Gap Country Store & Hostel

Wolfpen Gap Country Store and Hostel

Mile 20.8
Elevation 3,198 Feet

I learned a valuable lesson this morning.  Our food bags hung on the bear cable at Gooch Mountain Shelter were sitting on the ground when I went to retrieve them this morning.  So many people hung their food on the cable that it broke and all the food came tumbling down.  Next time I’ll find a tree when there are that many hikers at a shelter.

We hiked to Woody Gap and Bobby wanted to get off the trail for a night and stay at a hostel.  We also decided to do some wash.  So we got a ride at the gap and rode into the Wolfpen Gap Country Store and Hostel.  The store was nice in that it had stuff to eat and a washer and drier.  We ate first and then got settled in our bunks.  There were no linens and quite frankly, the place was kind of dirty, but it would be a warm place to sleep.  Bobby and I put out our sleeping pads and sleeping bags and then headed for the washing machine.

While here at the hostel we met a really nice couple in their mid to late thirties who were hiking together and also a young woman, Sarah, and her dog Carter.

Following is a short video I made on the trail earlier in the day.
