March 30th and March 31st - Day 29 and 30

Woke up on the later side because we knew it was only going to be a 6 mile day to Uncle Johnny's where we were going to meet back up with Super Fast Nate who did a night hike with his dad, Michael, and Matt. Michael and Matt pushed through Erwin, Tennessee where they were meeting a friend to take them to church on Easter Sunday. The hike was mostly down hill and was very scenic. It took about two hours and we were at Uncle Johnny's by noon. We obviously were pumped about a pizza buffet we heard was in town but once we got our bunks we found out the shuttle didn't leave until 3:00. That was a huge problem due to our hiker hunger. But... we found out the hostel rented these sweet blue bikes for 2 dollars a day. We all grabbed a bike and rolled out to the pizza joint where we smashed like 8 or 9 pizzas between all of us. The hostel wasn't extremely accommodating. It didn't have a kitchen or tv but we still decided to take Easter Sunday off and spend the next day in Erwin, Tennessee. Doesn't sound too exciting but it was a well needed break after all the gnarly snow we had gotten the days before. And Monday we were off to hiking again.

sweet ride!
