05/31/12 (ketvirtadienis) 5.0 ¢ 856.3 Paul C. Wolfe - Waynesboro, VAAtsisveikinau su vakaryk¡ciais kaimynais: tevu, mama, kokiu keturiolikos ¢ penkiolikos metu dukra ir labai smalsiu ¡uneliu. Puikios nuotaikos apimtas nu34ygiavau¢¦ne tuo taku. Pra¡oviau AT 34enkla ir apie de¡imt minuciu ejau 34emyn i¡ilgai upelio 34valgydamasis i puikias naturaliai susiformavusias maudynes, kaip cia vadina jas ¢maudymosi skylemis¢ ir ryto sauleje ¡vytincius kriokliukus. Ejau tol, kol takas netiketai dingo bruzgynuose. Supratau kad reikia sugri34ti atgal prie ¡elterio. Nieko nepadarysi, visko buna, bet ¡is paklydimas visai nesugadino nuotaikos. Iki Waynesboro ¢ tik penkios mylios ir a¡ turejau marias laiko.Laukti ir ¢balsuoti¢ kol kas nors pave34 iki miesto nereikejo. Tik i¡ejes plentan buvau u34kalbintas vieno malonaus 34mogaus ir man buvo pasiulyta luktelti keleta minuciu kol jis apsisuks. Netrukus jau buvau ties YMCA - jaunuju krik¡cioniu sveikatingumo centru. Cia galejau i¡simaudyti nemokamai ir palikti savo kuprine, nes hostelis Waynesboro Liuteronu ba34nycioje atsidaro tik ketvirta vakaro ir a¡ turejau kruva laiko apsipirkimui ir pavai¡ciojimui po ¡ita labai draugi¡ka haikeriams miesteli. Ir dar a¡ turiu pripa34inti, kad vaik¡ioti po miesta man pasirode sunkiau negu mi¡ke.Bet ta vakara a¡ hostelyje a¡ taip ir nenakvojau, nors jis ir buvo nemokamas. Grie34ta tvarka, kai jis yra u34rakinamas devinta valanda vakaro nekele man jokios simpatijos. Taigi, susiemiau savo daiktus ir nuejau i Quality Inn vie¡buti. Megstu privatuma, o be to, geras poilsis visada turi itakos tolimesniam 34ygio etapui.---|---I said goodbye to yesterday's neighbors: father, mother, fourteen-fifteen-year-old daughter and a very curious dog. In the excellent mood, I went ... on the wrong trail. I missed AT sign and walked down along the river for about ten minutes, looking at the naturally formed as here calls them "swimming holes" and at the small waterfalls radiating in the morning sun. I walked until the trail suddenly disappeared in the thicket. I realized that I should retrace and go all way back to the shelter. Sometimes it happens, but this error does not ruin my mood. Waynesboro - only five miles from here and I have had plenty of time.To wait and "vote" until someone gives the drive to the city was not a problem. Almost immediately after hitting the highway, I was approached by a very nice guy and offered the seat in his car. Only I have to do is to wait a few minutes until he drops someone and will be back shortly after that. Soon I was at the YMCA - Young Men's Christian Association Health Center. Here, I was able to take free shower and leave my backpack because the hostel in Grace Evangelical Lutheran church opens only the fourth evening. I have had a bunch of time for shopping and walking in this very friendly to hikers town. Moreover, I have to admit ¢ walking in town is much harder than in the woods.However, that night I did not stay at hostel overnight and even though it was free. I have no sympathy for the strict regime when hostel is locked at nine o'clock tonight. So, ruffled my stuff and went to the Quality Inn hotel. I like privacy, and besides, a good rest always have an impact on future hiking stage.
