Day 26 - April 26

Day 26 Journal Entry: It was very warm last night. I would guess the temperature was in the upper 50's when I got up. When I arrived at the Howard Johnson in Daleville at 1pm it was 88 deg. The air conditioning feels great. Tomorrow is a down day and Betty, Lucy and Ben are coming to visit. I talked to Lyle, Darlene, Lynn, Betty and the Gerhardts today. I talked to a trail volunteer that had seen a black bear. He said it was the third one he had seen in his lifetime living around here. I saw and talked to numerous weekend hikers. Most of them were locals and I enjoyed their info about the local area. It is time to sleep on a real mattress and bed. Goodnight.
