[at-l] Have to Trail Towns

[Tim Rich]

When we did our 170 mile section in PA, we zeroed in Port Clinton, stayed with Helen, ate cheeseburgers and drank cheap Yuengling.  Much of that has changed, though.  Helen has passed, I'm unsure of any "vintage" lodging there, and Yuengling has recently become available in GA and folks think highly of it.

Take Care,

Tim
