AT '18 "Hot Tub Zero"

Day #10 Zero Day in Hiawassee


March 18, 2018

Man zero days are so nice. Knope and I woke up and relaxed in our beds for awhile before getting packed up and taking our own packs to the boys room while we went grocery shopping. We are checking out today and moving to the Holiday Inn down the road because they have a hot tub... and we need a hot tub.

Shopping is stressful. I bought way more food then I needed because I kept thinking about how hungry I was this last section and craving so many different kinds of food.

Food for 3 people for not that many miles LOL

After grocery shopping we walked back to the hotel, our arms loaded down with bags and bags of food and got lunch. I ate an entire pizza from Barney's and Knope got Subway. We ate in the boys room (which smelled like a combination of feet and death). Then headed out to the hotel yard to lay in the sun and let our tents dry out with all of the other hikers. We met Rowdy, her dog Steve and her friend Wheelchair, along with a lot of other hikers whose names I can't remember. Knope and I brought our packs out and packed up our resupplies, laughing at the ridiculousness of the amount of food we'd bought.


Cobra and his new friend Steve


We packed everything up and started our walk down to the Holiday Inn around 3. We dropped our packs in our room, stripped down to our sports bras and underwear and went straight to the hot tub.


We went back and forth between the hot tub and the pool and then we snuck Cool Dude, Cobra, and Sparky in through the side door. We all sat in the hot tub for a few hours until our brains were fried and we made ourselves get out.


Knope and I got dressed and walked to Monte Alban, the Mexican restaurant. Stuffed our faces again and then walked back to the Holiday Inn, stopping and getting pictures with some street art angel wings like the basic bitches that we are. Sparky brought me another jar of banana pudding from Barney's and I don't think I'm ever eating again.

Going to catch the shuttle with the boys tomorrow back to Dick's Creek Gap so I'm heading to bed.
