We took a zero day in Hiawassee doing an assortment of chores. The best were the hot showers, the clean laundry, and beds!
New boots were waiting for me from REI to address my blister issues. One pair fit and the other pair was returned. I had a resupply box waiting for me – with more food that I could possibly consume! I packed it back up and forwarded on to Fontana Dam. That was one trip to the post office.
A trip to the grocery store was a treat – we were able to get fresh fruits and vegetables which are hard to carry on the trail. A trip to the drug store was also necessary to load up on ibuprofen. Serpent and Ready enjoyed soaking there feet in an Epsom Salt bath.
And, relaxation! And, another trip to an AYCE buffett informally referred to as “the trough” by the locals. These days in town help me get some much needed calories!
