Forty-nine years ago this summer Steve was part of a party of four who hiked the Appalachian Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park from CosbyCampground to Newfound Gap and back again. This afternoon Steve returned to Cosby for the first time. It was a trip down memory lane as he contemplated the landscape and tried to recall where they had camped and what trail they had taken to connect with the AT. It’s a beautiful campground and ten degrees cooler than the neighboring communities. It’s a potential for our base camp next summer when Steve and Stan plan a 50th Anniversary Hike.
Our walking tour through the historic heart of Stavanger gave us insight into the canning and maritime industries that fueled this community as well as some tasty tidbits.
Our short visit to Njardarheimr gave us insight into life in 11th Century Norway and educated us on the role of “Vikings” within the Norse community of the time.
