  • JULY 16 BARNETT KNOB IN INDIAN RESERVATION "You say you want me to lead the hike to Barnett's Knob, and Ruth Walsh is to be my co- leader? Well, that's fine but hold on!—if we agree to lead this hike then I suppose we have to write a story about the trip—how far, what to take along and so on?" "And, I suppose we will have to tell what a wonderful time we will have—just mentioning that we take our cars to about a mile beyond Wright Creek Baptist Church—" "Where is it?" "Well, it's on our way, and a very quaint little log building it is. Even if its door is locked you can peek in the window and see the split log benches, simple pulpit and all, but we will give you more exact -details -after ftwth -and .1 .have scouted this trip, which of course we will have to do." "As I have only been over this once, not making notes, I can't give exact locations, but you will drive to Cherokee, N. C, turn left and cross over the Oconaluftee river and again left about a quarter of a mile, then left again and you will soon come to Wright's Creek—after this there is only one road so you can't go astray." "We park our cars about two or three miles on this side of the Knob—then what a glorious hike we have—bring on your adjectives! Oh! yes, we guarantee the weather, and by the way, we pass quite a number of genuine Cherokee Indian homes and you should not be surprised to see an Indian squaw walking along the road with the papoose strapped to her back following the old chief, 'Indian File'; and no doubt we will have time to stop over and visit or chat for a while, as you will find the Cherokees quite friendly." 43
