This was a Thursday in 1974, And after a 10.5 mile hike, hit Snowden Virginia for a mail drop and to shop for some groceries. "Groceries in Snowden sucked."
Well it was a small combo grocery, hardware and PO all in one (might have had gas too).
The choices were limited, but I seem to recall I bought a block of cheese. I also noted in my journal that the "James River gorge no sweat."
At the Johns Hollow LT I met Harry who hiked the whole AT in 1969.
