So now we are in Hot Springs, NC. My shoes quit on me, they started giving me some blisters on the down hills and I got my first bruised toenail. Plus the shoes fell apart. I chose a pair of trail runners that should be better for me.
Last night we stayed at the campground on the outskirts of town. It was jam packed, cause there's a river fest going on today. However last night we also had a pleasant surprise. There was an older couple sharing a campsite with us. They gave us milk and butter =D, along with hot dogs, and ice for Ben's knee, and also some chocolate milk!!!
Well now we are about to go down to the diner and grab the biggest juiciest burger we can.
