05-25-13 Together at the Dutch Haus

It was cold this morning. The condensation on the tent had frosted over. In keeping with the cold theme, further up the trail we saw amazing views from Cold Mountain.

The terrain was rolling and made for quick miles. It being Saturday and Memorial Day weekend meant that a lot of day and weekend hikers were out. We stopped on a cluster of rocks for lunch only to be bombarded by a group of people shortly after. Kids running, yelling, climbing all over the rocks; hopefully, nobody got hurt.

We hiked a mile off trail to stay at Dutch Haus Bed and Breakfast. Got a shower and clean laundry. But even more exciting, and unbeknownst to us, Cyclops was there too! We were extremely sad, however, to learn that Cyclops is leaving the trail.
