The Omelet Guy! 6/19/2017

by | Mar 10, 2021 | Appalachian Trail

Woke up excited to hit the trail this morning.  The four section hikers we met yesterday had told us about the Omelet Guy. Apparently he sets up a little kitchen just off the trail and cooks breakfast for hikers.

We took off from the shelter, eager to make the six miles to feast on eggs. However, we had to make it up over Cube Mountain first.

The trail was still wet from the day before, making the rock faces slick.

Once again, we were rewarded with great views for our hard work at the top.


At the bottom of the mountain,  I finally saw a Moose!

We finally came across the Omelet Guy, Carl in the afternoon. He had a nice little set uo in the woods with a tarp,  camp stove and bear proof cabinet full of food for hikers.

Rabbit and I each started with a 6 egg Omelet with peppers, onions and cheese. We followed that up with another 6 egg omelet. I was feeling pretty good so decided to go after the record of 22, set last year. So the Omelet Guy, cooked up 12 more for me, only this put them in a special bowl reserved for record attempts.

I’ll admit,  the last couple eggs were a little struggle but I powered through and set the record at 24!

After the eggs, part two started,  I still had to hike another 9 miles!

To top it off, I was hit by a thunderstorm while hiking over Mist Mountain.  Luckily the summit was tree covered.

I was pretty soaked by the time I made it to the hostel

It was $25 for a bunk in and free breakfast.  Rabbit, Spice, Luna, and Karaoke were there along with several other hikers. We stayed up for a while watching movies before calling it a night and resting up for a big climb in the morning.
