    Default Ms Janet's Hostel

    Ms Janet stopped by last week for a couple of days and I showed her some plans for the new hostel.I said this would be a great thing to see you back doing what you love to do.Working with hikers once again.She told me she was going to Florida and get a nice sun tan and think about it.



    She said don't say anything because I want time to think about it myself without opinions.I said that is the way it will be.Well I got the call and she said ""how does having it open for business March 1st sound?I said sounds great.She replied announce it on Whiteblaze and see what they all think.

    Sounds like a win, win, win situation to me. She wins, you win, and we all win. Good news.

    That sounds pretty big time! Just so I'm in the know, is this the new hostel close to Stecoah Gap referenced in your other thread?

    I think they're talking about in Franklin, near the Budget Inn.

    Question

    Sounds very great, but everyone seems to know what "new hostel" we're all talking about. I sure don't. So, what new hostel?

    Again, sounds great wherever it is and especially if either Miss Janet or Ron is involved!
