Wed 13 Oct - Kincora Hostel, Hampton, TN

Rain overnight, glad we stayed at Abby's Place.  Sunny morning with some light rain in the afternoon (but not on us).  High in 60s.

Beautiful hike today.  Fall colors starting to peak.  Another twelve mile day and fairly easy.  And tomorrow is an easy slack pack.  But an email from Capt. Bly informs us that this section was one of his favorites so we will take our time and enjoy it. 

We are at Kincora Hostel with lots of other hikers.  We met Mud (a SOBO) in New Hampshire.  Apparently we were all four laying on a rock overlook.  Also here is The Kid who we met in Maine at Abol Bridge.  The Kid is doin a flip flop from Harpers Ferry, same as we are doing.  Ghost Pirate and Quick Step are also here but were are not sure if we met or just passed each other.  Both are SOBOs.

There were great stories over the picnic table again but tonight from the hikers.  Great bear stories (Abu), hiking the wrong way stories, Ranger stories, hitchiking stories, and a forest fire story.
