THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER PAGE EIGHT (Second Section)' Cove Creek Home Is Favorite Place Of Youth Hostel Hikers ... v - - v-"-" J.'.-f.'.m.ry eWW&r .'. 0fHsssssssss4ssMssiktfth Hikers and bike riders who like to travel the mountains at a slow encu&:i pace to enjoy the scenery have the hospitality of hostels to look forward to at the end of a day's journey. In an article titled, "Youth Hostels Give Travelers In expensive Tours,'' by John E. Jones, the Raleigh News and Ob server describes the Smoky Moun tains loops of hostels which harbor vacationists traveling from Ashe ville to Max Patch, to Cove Creek and back through Haywood com munities to Asheville. Native Tar Heels and numerous visitors from afar pack a change of clothing and emergency rations on their back and take off for a leisur ly vacation. Besides the beauty of the countryside, there is warm hospitality at the farm houses that are the hostels where the hikers put in for the night. One of the favorite stopping places in the Smoky Mountain loop is the Cove Creek hostel where Mrs. K. h. Davis is housemother. Mr. Jones writes of a recent visit that a group of Wacs from Moore General Hospital paid to this home en route to Mount Sterling summit. "They spent much time quizzing the Davises about the mountains, the customs, the crops etc. They took snapshots of the family and sat by a crackling log fire, even though it was in May, and played about the floor with one of the Davis grandchildren. "And it goes without saying that these same Wacs devoured no small amount of country ham and hot biscuits, all the while singing the praises of the housemother. Late morning found the Wacs treking to Mount Sterling." The Smoky loop begins at Oak wood Cottage in West Asheville. and from there the hostellers go to the Sandy Mush hotel, situated on the creek that divided Bun combe and Madison counties. From there the loop winds around the hiountains to Maple Springs hostel the Salvation Army mission a few miles from the peak of Max Patch. There the paths split, one lead ing into Tennessee and another to Mount Sterling hostel near the Waterville power plant. The W. J. Joneses at Del Rio open their large house to the travelers, giv ing them the chance to sleep on a feather bed and prepare food in the family kitchen. From Del Rio the trail can be followed along Pigeon river to Mt. Sterling vil lage, where the hostel is run by Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Hopkins. From this village the trail leads up to the Park boundary and into Cove Creek community, then to either Waynesville, Lake Junaluska or Canton. The writer tells of the Sleepy Gap hostel near Asheville. where the proprietor. Fiddlin' Bill Ilensley tells tales of crossing the mountains barefoot in the snow and fiddles for a square dance if a large enough party is passing through. American Youth Hostels is an old organization, with headquarters in Northfield, Mass. Members get passes which allows them to spend the night at hostels, paying only 25 cents for lodging. House rules must be followed, which includes 'Mights out" at 10 p. m., no hitch hiking or drinking, and smoking is up to the hosts.
