Dropped into Hot Springs for my First Zero

After a big rain the other night, trucked down the mountain with a heavy and wet tent to drop into Hot Springs for my first zero. Staying at Stonybank B&B, an establishment that goes back to 1947 for hikers. It's in an old historic Victorian mansion owned by Elmer. The rate is $20.00 a night and you can join Elmer and friends for dinner for $10.00 - which is vegetarian and absolutely fantastic! Had dinner with ten people (four thru hikers). Supper consisted of squash soup, a huge salad (two helpings of both), vegetarian shepard's pie and terrific pie. Breakfast ($8.00), terrific waffles, fruit and granola.

Got my resupply from Carolyn today which included my new boots! Hope they work out ok!

Going to take advantage of the Hot Springs this afternoon before heading back into the mountains tomorrow.
