We drove through the country today after some shopping in downtown Boone. We stopped at a "Country General Store" where we bought 2 cucumbers to add to our lunch. The funny part about it, is this general store had about 5 cans of soda, a few candy bars, a couple of bags of chips and crackers and a box of tomatoes competing for our business. We were looking for a nice place to pull off the road to have lunch and settled for a cemetery. Morbid maybe, but it was beautiful. Cristy read my medicine cards and then we were off to Damascus for the Trail Days festival. When we arrived we set up our tents in Tent City because it was almost dark. We found NoThai at Dots having a beer and Queen Becky walking back to camp. Our reunion was filled with laughter and squeals of joy. We proposed our plan to NoThai to drive south to visit Cristy's family, then New Orleans (because I've never been and we will be 2 hours away) and then to Florida to get my car before heading back to Michigan! He is in and I'm so excited!
Even though Cristy isn't hiking she somehow managed to pick up a trail name tonight, Just the Tip, and Tippy for short! I can't recite the whole story here, but it's a funny one. We hung out at Dots and Nothai and I filled each other in on everything we missed the last week.
