Thursday – a character building day

Posted on by kevinhikes

Spent last night in a shelter (which I rarely do) because the weather report was worrisome

Here’s what I woke up to


​​
Managed to make it to the town of Port Clinton, where the local barber shop is where hikers and local townspeople meet


I was very warmly welcomed with a hot drink and some donuts.

Frank, the barber, is a hiker and a very kind man.


 The barber shop has about ten chairs in it, and I chatted with some very nice folks waiting to get their hair cut. What a cool place!!

(I did not get my hair cut)

Make sure to pick a healthy tree when you paint your white blaze 


Making the best of a rough day,

Junco

    Brutal. Hang in there, Junco. A haircut wouldn’t have killed you.
