Day 25 (5/16) - I gotta say it was a good day

Day 25 - 3.2 mi/272.7 tot
Deer Park Mtn Shelter to Elmer's Sunnybank Inn, Hot Springs, NC

Had a quick short hike this morning into Hot Springs and managed to get a spot at Elmer's, an old victorian house. We got the last two spots in the house for the night and a really nice room. Elmer is an ex-philosophy professor from Duke and runs the B&B here for hikers when he has the room. The meals are all organic gourmet vegitarian and we are planning to eat breakfast and dinner here tomorrow.

Other than that we spent most of the day either eating, doing laundry, hanging out with our hiker friends or sitting in a hot spring fed hot tub. The hot tub felt great and was very relaxing after our many days in a row of hiking. it was als nice to get clean and well fed too. Probably ate too much today but it was hard not to. Oh well, have to keep the weight on some how. also got to sit outside under a roof drinking a beer and didn't have to set up a tent or hike in it. All that after a huge breakfast at the great, cheap diner in town.

More relaxing tomorrow and some gear maintenance tasks before we get started again on Monday.

I hear banjo music...got to go.
