The book Pilgrim at Tinker Creek was published in 1974, the year before we arrived at Hollins. Its author, Annie Dillard, was a Hollins graduate and the book went on to win a Pulitzer Prize. Though we are less than a mile from the end of our journey, we stop at Tinker Creek to refill our water bottles and soak our tired feet in the cool waters of Tinker Creek.
Notice in this picture that I am not wearing a pack and Cathy has on my pack. She and Betsey got to the creek and then she came back to "be my Sherpa" to help me get to the end (and to help all of us get to Reunion before it was over...or so it felt).
