Today we're hiking into Gatlinburg--only 5 miles today. I invited Groundhog and Redneck to stay with us at Melissa's house. I can't wait to see Melissa and eat a juicy hamburger. She said, "The door will be open and there's beer in the fridge. Help yourself." That's a true friend.

After I hit VA I won't have nearly as much company on my days off. This is a really a treat right now.
