Hi,
I've section-hiked all the trail but NH and ME, but I stayed at the Black Bear Resort (?) while in Hampton, TN. Sadly, that means I missed meeting the man, the legend, Bob Peeples. But now I am writing a Young Adult novel where my main character goes to Kincorra and meets Bob Peeples.
Which leads me to why I need your help. When you saw Kincorra, what was the first thing you noticed? What can you still remember from your stay there?
How would you describe Bob Peeples? Physically, personailty, habits and mannerisms... all that stuff
Are there any good Bob Peeples stories I could have the other "thru hikers" in my story tell about him?
Thanks for your help! I may be checking back for more memories as my main character makes her way up the trail.
P.S. anyone who replies gets a credit in the acknowledgements when I publish this thing
