Tried to sleep in but still woke up early--6:30 a.m.
Wandered around town for awhile then ran into Bamboo, Shaman, Morning Kid, Bluebird and...Wooden Spoon! We had a small breakfast with them at the local diner--we were saving room for the coup de gras later.
We enjoyed town with Wooden Spoon before she headed off the Asheville for a couple days. We restocked our food, updated the blog, then were ready for bigger plans.
The cheeseburger explosion--actually it was named "the Big Laurel"--a hamburger patty sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwiches. Probably not the best food decision I've ever made before heading off into the woods without restrooms for the next five or so days, but I highly recommend.
We decided to "Nero" today and hiked four miles. There were some gorgeous views of Hot Springs from Lovers Leap Rock. We met up with Olive Oyl and Wet Bag and squeezed into their campsite. We are on red alert now as we've entered ground zero of the rumored norovirus. For the next 70 miles into Erwin, TN we are in the hot zone--Bubble B anyone?
Another puppy! Also, that burger looks amazing!
