We took Monday off to wash clothes, resupply our food and mostly just rest. The local people in Hiawassee were kind, many were interested in knowing where we were from and why we were hiking the AT in the first place.

It rained most of the day, it was good to take a break and rest our legs. One thing about it though, when you go to town you end up walking for miles to get to the grocery store and anywhere else in town you need to go.

We were ready to get back on the trail the next morning.
