Hot Springs, NC
Officially a month on trail - it's fitting we get to celebrate in town with a zero and hot tub. We slept in (other than the train waking us up at 6:30am) then got breakfast again at the Smoky Mountain Diner.
We just loafed around town all morning; our cottage was next to a gorgeous creek and we sat out by the creek for a while. Dumb Horse even bought a fishing pole and caught several fish. I read and journaled for a bit on the porch with Party Dave before going to the outfitter for a few things. Thankfully I packed enough food to get me to Erwin so I didn't have to resupply. We just hung out around the cabin all afternoon. My mom brought me a couple of things I ordered at home that didn't arrive until after I left (new sleeping pad and hat); between those things and my new 20° bag, I basically have a whole new set up. We visited with my mom and Rosie before enjoying the party tub.
We drank beer and tossed around a foam football the entire hours, it was the best hot tub experience of my life. We got drinks and dank ass tacos from Big Pillow Brewing before watching Shrek 2 as a tramily. Bug Bite's birthday is tomorrow and we've already sung to her about 12 times.
