03-30-13 Together in Franklin, North Carolina
Woke up early to hike just shy of 4 miles to Winding Stair Gap to make the shuttle into Franklin, North Carolina.
The hike along the ridge was beautiful in the morning, with the fog rolling off the mountains. I felt like I was on top of the world.
Caught the shuttle hosted by Ron Haven--boy, that guy is a character.
Checked into the Budget Inn. Stepped into our room, and stepped back a decade.
Our stay coincided with the April Fools Trail Days in the day, and Hiker Bash in the evening.
Had a chicken tender basket for lunch and some frozen foods for dinner--including ice cream. The snow plus mud combo of the trail has reminded me of cookies and cream for days, so I felt it time to satisfy my appetite.
