I got up early and made good time out to the road. I made it to the
road by 11:30 and hiked down to the parking lot. Unfortunately I
didn't get any cell reception so I had to continue hiking down the
road to the B&B rather than getting picked up. I ran into Naptime,
Wall Eyes, and No Point at the B&B. They were planning on just coming
in for the free lunch and got sucked into staying for the night.
This place is awesome. As soon as I arrived, I was shown the
bunkhouse, was told to grab my laundry and take a shower. Then, I sat
down at the kitchen table and was given beef stew in a bread bowl. I
am treated like I live here and am part of the family. We are given
bathrobes to wear all day, the owner did our laundry, and she cooked
us fantastic food. I was just thinking about meatloaf yesterday and
that's what we had for dinner. This is what a break from the trail
should be. But, getting back on tomorrow will be difficult.
