June 9thMy destination this day was the Weary Feet Hostel, aptly name for tired thru hikers. This is a house set on about 15 acres, old and very nicely maintained. The proprietor, Lisa, has outstanding reviews on FarOut, and after spending the night there I can see why. A bed goes for $28, and if you want a home cooked dinner that costs an additional $12. I had dinner. And what a fine dinner it was. My first plate consisted of 2 large hamburger patties, a generous helping of mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and a dinner roll with butter. My second plate consisted of 2 large hamburger patties, a generous helping of mashed potatoes, green beans, and a dinner roll with butter. Desert was a large piece of strawberry cake.

Lisa's picture is attached. Though that sounds like a lot of food for one meal (it is a lot of food for one meal) you can't hardly eat enough calories to replace the calories that you burn hiking. Through this point I have lost 18 pounds. I weigh less now than when I got married in 1985.June 9thMy destination this day was the Weary Feet Hostel, aptly name for tired thru hikers.
