Joe, You awakened some old memories! I grew up in Vienna and used to hang out in that store in the mid seventies. It was the only place to go for the good stuff and it had its own distinctive charm. Sure are a lot of sailor/backpackers around here.

In a store in Vienna VA, Appalachian Outfitters, there was a tattered newspaper article about Grandma Gatewood who starting in her 60's hiked the entire length of the Appalachian Trail..... three times. Her food? Dried beef, nuts & Cheese, saltines, and vienna sausage!! She hiked the trail, not in super designer boots, but in Keds sneakers. Carried an army blanket for sleeping, a shower curtain for her shelter, and a rain cape. She carried everything in a sack that she slung over one shoulder. I guess when all was said and done the one question she didn't get from any of her 23 grandchildren was "What's for dinner, Grandma???""
