May 14 - Zero Day

So we spent the day visiting the local businesses in town before checking in at the Dancing Bear Inn and stretching and resting my knee.

The local diner is the best place in town for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we ate there twice.

We resupplied at the Food City which was a long walk but along a nice trail beside a stream.  We checked out the local outfitter and got some meals here too.

Also in town is an ATC visitor center which is neat to check out.

Things are starting to pick up and get busy in town as their annual big event Trail Days is getting close to happening.
So we will give it another go tomorrow on the trail, will be taking it slow, I'll have to reel Jens pace in for sure!

We both saw the memorial for the 4 year old boy who died on a mountain back in 1891, memorial is here. You can hear about this story in an episode of The Green Tunnel podcast. ...
