Franklin, North Carolina. Couldn’t imagine a town being nicer to visiting hikers. March 19 and 20, 2015 1 - Diner lunch at the Normandy. Great banana pudding too. 2 - Trail friends Steve and Tableflip. 3 - The Ratheskeller, a great little bar we quickly overrun with ten hikers. 4 - Moonshine mix at the grocery. 5 - Presumably my future employment. 6 - Signs outside the pizza place we ate at. 7 - A wonderful free pancake breakfast for hikers at the First Baptist Church.
