We discovered an alternate path that went to the very small town of Buck Lake. One anonymous member of our party was hankering for more tobacco, so the group decided to visit Buck Lake. I was thrilled to buy the trifecta of chocolate mile, Coke and a beer.
We sauntered between all three of the business establishments, and at the end of the night we were spoiled by a family that took 7 of us hikers in, where we showered, laundried, slept and then were fed a wonderful breakfast. Thank you Cricket, Darlene and Terry! We really appreciated your hospitality!
Bucks Lake. My first job was at Bucks Lake Lodge. I hike that summit every year…beautiful area
