July
2, 1981 Thursday From Gonzo!s Appalachian
Trail journal
Ate trail food for breakfast. Finished reading “Interview
with the Vampire” which took a good chunk of the day. I went
to the grocery store with Larry to buy the ingredients to make myself
a root beer float, but he snagged the last pint of vanilla ice cream.
I found some A&W root beer, and I said to myself that I I would
make one later. I did too! I bought ½ gallon of ice cream and
3 bottles of A&W, thinking I would share with the rest of the
bunch, but no one wanted any! I virtually had to eat the whole thing
myself. I talked Cindy into eating some, and then Larry a little also,
but I know I must have eaten at least 3/4 of the half gallon. I was
full afterwards, and decided that was my supper. Called Mom from the
Kroger store, and also bought a Silverstone sauté pan and pancake
mix. Can’t decide what to do – keep hiking, or start
hitching, or take a bus home. Bob’s mom and dad showed up
tonight. They are very involved with their son’s hike, and are
going to hike south to meet Bob and then walk back to the hospice
with him tomorrow. Joel left today after making a cardboard sign indicating
he was hitch hiking to Newport.
