First 0 day today. A 0 day is exactly what it sounds like - 0 miles hiked for that day. We were able to take this 0 because we have been at or above our daily average of 15/day.
We lodged at the Sunnybank Inn, a Victorian Style B&B/Hiker friendly hostel. If any of you are planning an AT hike you must stay here. Elmer Hall owns and operates this gorgeous house, serving organic vegetarian meals for breakfast and dinner.
Another great feature of Sunnybank is the option to do work for stay. Samwise and I took advantage of this. We ventured out to Elmer's farm and found ourselves cutting bamboo shoots. Didn't see that coming but the manual labor was a nice break from walking all day. After that was done we pulled and trimmed his garden outback, which turned into quite the fiasco. I accidentally bumped the nozzle for the water tank, which was fairly loose in the first place and soon found myself covered in rain water, mud and leaves (we just did laundry too). Fortunately, Samwise was able to get a screw driver while I held the PVC pipe in place and we firmly fastened the faucet. Elmer got a laugh out of that one.
