"Greasy" refers to the high mineral content of the water hereabouts. This hostel is off the AT 0.6 miles, way down a faint jeep trace, a leap of faith as it gets dark and you have no idea where in the wilds of deepest Appalachia you'll end up. But then the unfriendly neighbor's dogs start barking in their compound, and you finally see the hostel. Connie runs a fun as well as friendly place, particularly as she observes the sabbath at Friday sundown, as a Messianic Jew, with wine and Hebrew music. She doesn't "sell" beer in this dry county, but you can buy a "smiley face" and get a beer anyway. Also here are Inchworm doing AT #2 northbound, and Worldly, flipflop Soboer.
