We call Ira Fine from 'Fine Lodgings' in Slatington and he agrees to meet us in the late afternoon between 4-5pm so we can stay in town.
The day's hike is really bad and rocky in sections, climbing ove Bake Oven Knob. We have to carry enough water for the whole day. The ankles and knees do not do well under the strain of the rock climbing with the heavy pack.
Ira picks us up in his truck and we have a private room in his residential hotel which is really nice. Slatington is a small town with stone buildings with everything nearby. We eat at the tavern 50 metres up the street. I use ice from the ice bucket to reduce the swelling in my sprained ankle.
