April 29...a perfect day

Our bodies felt great after our long rest. Weather was perfect as we started early. Eight miles in we came to a hostel at Greasy Gap ran by Connie. Connie said she is a recovering dental hygienist who loves to cook and fell in love with the AT 10 years ago. Bought a beautiful piece of property and there she is to greet us at the door. After enjoying 4 pops, three bags of chips, and turkey sandwiches, we discovered her famous freezer full of Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Each container has 1300 calories and Mark ate his and half of mine. We put our feet in the river and then took a nap in the grass. A Gatorade and several glasses of water and back on the trail to climb Iron Mountain. Incredible views at the peak. Took another long break there. Hiked on till 7:30 and are not clear where we are. We think near Ash Gap. We also discovered branch lettuce that we could use for a salad

Sweet dreams
