I got up early and made good time until Tinker Cliffs. Then Cookie
Monster, Sockburn, and I made a wrong turn. We walked along the base
of the cliffs for a while before the path we were on ended.
Apparently the AT turned to go on top of the cliffs and we missed the
turn. So, I retraced my steps until I was able to get back on the
trail.
I am actually glad I made the mistake. I was planning on killing some
time at the cliffs as I thought there was a half mile trail around the
cliffs. It turns out there isn't another trail. The AT along the
cliffs had fantastic views, even better than the view from McAfee
Knob. Along the base of the cliffs entailed crawling among the rocks,
which was also pretty cool.
Once I got into town and checked into the motel, I went to the Wendy's
and did the Value-menu Challenge. The Value-menu Challenge involves
eating one of everything on the value menu at a fast food restaurant.
Wendy's is supposedly the hardest. I consumed a Jr. Bacon
Cheeseburger, Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Double Stack Burger, 5pc
Chicken Nuggets, Baked Potato, Small Chili, Side Salad, Caesar Salad,
Spicy Chicken Wrap, Chicken Fillet Wrap, Grilled Chicken Wrap, Value
Sweet Tea, and Value Fries. It was tough to finish the last couple
items.
After that, I took care of town chores.
