We have all had long travel trips. Like the road trip to Florida from Maryland that took maybe 20 hours straight (by way of Easton, MD). I couldn't sleep in the car, so I ended up driving most of the time.
Then there was a bus trip that took about 17 hours from Maryland to Georgia. I had done many trips to NYC by bus, but for the one on June 6th, I wasn't meeting anyone.
From my journal (June 6, 1974)
"...from Baltimore 5:00 pm to Washington 6:00 pm to Greensboro 3:30 am to Asheville 6:30 am long hot trip. Didn't get enough sleep about 2 hours of halfassed sleep.
7 June Friday
Got to Dahlonega about 11:00 am. Left for Amicalola Falls at 12:1=05 arriving 1/2 hour later. It was an extremly hard climb to Springer. About 6 hours. Boy was I beat!! The bus trip cost $2.85 from Dahlonega to State Park. I got really depressed today but am feeling better at 8:30 pm done dinner, an talking with people at the shelter. They are really friendly. They are from Maine & Michigan....."
