Trail Angels

The caretaker for the Quarry Gap Shelter is amazing. Pictures below show Jim Stauch and Best Wife in front of his work. Jim designed and built it in 1996. Beautiful setting with Rhododendrons all around.

Also lucked into a great couple, Sam and Nancy Kennedy, who took us to church this morning and then to the trail after that. I learned all about coon hunting. Dogs chasing coons up trees just like "Where the Red Fern Grows". Fascinating.

Lastly, shout out to Meghan and Tucker who picked us up hitchhiking. Lifesavers.

  1. Definitely one of the top shelters I've visited on the trail. Had lunch there on a section hike Easter weekend 2012. Jim (or somebody) actually decorated a nearby tree with Easter eggs!

    If you were starting in Georgia, you'd be nearing the halfway point!
