After the long day/night, I decided to take a zero to rest and resupply in Dalesville. Started off the morning  by destroying the free breakfast at the hotel.

Laundry was next on the list before running out to town to resupply.

I stopped at the outfitters first to get some new insoles (I’ve been hiking without, for the last day and a half). I brought the messed up insoles to the store so I could fit/trim the new ones to size. Aa soon as I finished, the sales guy grabbed my old insoles and almost ran through a back door, and to threw them in the dumpster!

Then I walked over to a BBQ place and met up with Peanuts. She had just finished eating and was sitting outside to digest before hitting the trail.  She told me they had free banana pudding for hikers!

I’m normally not a big dessert/sweets eater, but that all goes out the window on the trail!

Finally, went to Kroger to buy more food before returning to the hotel for the night.
