25 May, Morgan Stewart Shelter

Hot and humid.  94 today and too warm last night.

Short day to this shelter, only 9 miles.  Saw one snake.

Highlight of the was Mountain Top Deli.  We heard of this place on the trail days before we got here.  It is 0.3 mi. down the road but well worth it.  We had one sandwich for lunch, and got another (without mayo) for dinner.   We are well fed tonight. 

We are still with Rewind (lunch and dinner).  He will go about 16 miles tomorrow,  we will go about 11.  It has been fun. 

We met Elvis Trailsly today at the deli.  He has been a trail maintainer for 30 years.   He was also featured in the National Geographic show on the Appalachian Trail (the DVD is circulating in the family).  He is the one who spoke about Lymes Disease.

Speaking of which, they no longer warn us about bears but about ticks. 
Picture is from our hike today.
