After dinner Tucker Carr, grandson of Dorothy Carr and a student at WVU, entertained the group about his experience on the Allegheny Trail. Tucker and his friend had made plans for a 15 day hike. With their food, water, and back packs, they started the trail at Durban, but after two days of encounters with rattle snakes, no water resulting in dehydration and little sleep it turned into a two day hike.
