Today we woke up to a foggy, cold drizzle. My favorite!
By 9 am, we made some new friends in a Tennessee field:
We set off with the goal of checking that 30 mile day off of our bucket list. However, I am writing to you from Boots Off Hostel in Hampton, TN.
At mile 20 as the rain continued to fall, a magical hostel sign appeared and we simply couldn’t resist. The 30 will happen or it won’t, but I’m glad that the AT is about a lot more than as we call it out here, “crushing miles.”
Check out Watauga lake that we walked around this afternoon!
Goodnight from a dry bunk on a rainy, cold night.
