April 17th
Just before sunrise...
For the first time in my life that I remember, I liked oatmeal this morning. Cold soaked, watery, instant maple brown sugar flavored oatmeal. I have tolerated it previously because I know it is good for me. I only eat it when I have no other choice. Last night, same food, I ate it because I had to. This morning, I enjoyed it. I think hiker hunger has set in. We are out of fuel. I wonder if I will like the same oatmeal hot.
Coming down Blue Mountain I twisted my ankle. Not horribly, but enough that I yelled loud expletives when it happened. We rested a few minutes before proceeding and made it to the parking lot to take a shuttle into town.
In town we got the box I mailed us on the drive down. It had some things we were ready for, and some that went forward to North Carolina.
We got supplies, like fuel and food.
We ate lunch out. We ate at a new restaurant called Bronco's. It was very good and very needed.
We are at a hostel for tonight. My ankle will hopefully feel better in the morning. We've done our laundry, showered, and had even more food. The hostel has shoes in trees too.
I was so tired I fell asleep before finishing writing. Sleep was good.

Thank you for being here and being part of my daily happy things. Stay safe!
