Today was a lazy day. It was raining, so I chose to avoid hiking in the rain, when it is supposed to be so nice for the next couple of days.

The hostel that I am currently at is really special, a legendary place on the AT.

The fee here is only a $5 donation, and so much is offered for that money. The people are really cool, and I am enjoying relaxing here. With so many people talking about cranking out miles, it is nice to take it easy for a little while.

I don’t want to get complacent though, so I plan to head out onto the trail tonight and get a few miles in. That way, I will already be in hiking mode tomorrow morning, but the time reading and such here has been nice.

Here’s the quote of the day:
The Rock was looking at a Backpacking magazine at the hostel. He says, “$400 for a sleeping bag. Does it sleep for you?”
