July 20, 1983 Wednesday (944.2 mtg) From Gonzo!s Appalachian Trail journal Of course, with the early rising that we were doing now to beat the heat, the Gambrinus Restaurant (Bavarian Inn) five miles beyond Allentown Shelter was closed as we went by this morning. I found the huge beer bottle out front particularly interesting, and would have liked to have eaten breakfast at the Inn. Not far from the Gambrinus, lie a shelter that I remember as the worst shelter along the trail. I think it was partially due to its' proximity to the road and easy access. I don't even think I checked the register at this shelter after seeing the huge mound of trash piled up behind the shelter. The sight turned my stomach and the smell was awful and almost pushed that feeling over the edge. I went back to the trail and continued on. The
hike today featured a lot of boulder hopping. In the area around
Bake Oven Knob the rocks were especially numerous. One consolation
was the abundance of blueberries that were growing along the
trail free for the taking. Free food is always appreciated.
