Two days out of Hot Springs, NC.
Probably not coconut ice cream; more like a cone you dig out of a freezer at at gas station.
But at road crossings, if there was a place to get food, more often than not, I would get at least something to drink.
Hiking daily meant that I thought about food a lot. Especially items you did not get on the trail, like burgers, and cold drinks. All the drinks were "room" temperature or if you heated them, hot like cocoa or tea. (I wasn't a big coffee drinker yet.)
Here is what the gap looks like today, thanks to google maps.
Hiked from Little Laurel LT to Locust Ridge LT (that was apparently removed in 1982).
