Well, we hiked a solid morning and became entranced by the magic of the town. Now that we are officially in the North, there are towns everywhere! And the towns know what hikers want, or more to the point, the towns know how to get our money.

This is the second town that the trail goes directly through in two days. It’s pretty hard to avoid ice cream and burgers when you have to walk right by them. And, of course, pool!

So we ended up playing for most of the day, and hanging out with other hikers.

Later, we ended up visiting a brat food truck, the greatest brat food truck I have enjoyed, topped with delicious sauerkraut. Richard, the owner, was very kind, giving me a free brat! Schnitzel’s Brat Stop is a must see.

But it is our last stop for today. We are getting tired, and we have a lot of hiking to do tomorrow.
