7/16/1999 ~ High Point (5.6 miles hiked)

Made it to Lake Marcia where I chilled out with Chile for the afternoon. I've really learned how to enjoy doing very little, but relaxing is part of my mission this summer. Later on, Single Malt, H. Brett and Gentleman Jim showed up. Chile went off to the outfitter, and I went to the High Point Country Inn with those three.

We went to a local bar with the proprietress of the Inn. Very hiker friendly place, and a good time was was had by all. If you're planning to hike through High Point on the AT, I'd highly recommend the Inn. It's very nice if a bit expensive, but that's mitigated a bit by the fact that Carla will drive you anywhere she's got the time to go.

Tino showed up right after we got back from the Inn and we decided to stay there. It was a very cozy joint, and I got a good night's sleep in a bed.
