Hiking Spree Is Vacation For Students Summer Months Spent on Hoof Anyone who thinks that writers find artists dwell in an. ethereal world apart, take a look at two ex-Marines and their hiking com panions, all students here, who spent the summer on the hoof. They arrived at one point in their hike at 400-mile-distant Fntana Village, carrying bc t'.een them 171 pounds of bag gage. They had just "stepped off" 38 miles of the Appalachian Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains wilderness. "We wanted a vacation that was different, and wc got it," they said. "Every shelter on the trail was occupied when we reached it, so we slept on the ground outside. "We arrived at Fontana boat dock, where the trail comes into the concrete road leading to Fon tana Dam and the village, with our food kit emptied of all but a jar of salt, a box of pepper, and a spoonful of butter. Wc had 'about decided to stop long enough to divide the butter among our selves, but we learned that the concessions stand at the dam was not far away, and we caught a ride, so we made it on into the village. "That concession stand wasn't something to write about or put on canvas, but it was about the most beautiful thing we had seen in a long time. So were the show er . baths at the village camp ground. "One of the nicest experiences of the trip so far was the lift given up by a motorist leaving Marion, enroute to Knoxville." the student vacationists said. "He offered us a ride, but we were headed for Smokemont and the Ranger station at Oconaluftee, where we were to take the Appalachian . Trail into Fontana Village. In order to accommodate us, Jerry Star changed his route, and delivered us to the point near Cherokee where wc could enter the trail at Newfound Gap.
