Zero day. A zero day for an AT hiker is a day of rest. We decided to take one in Franklin. Franklin is a hiker friendly town and they advertise it, in the trail guide, on signs and even in the names of some of the businesses.
I started out my day early by getting some breakfast at nearly Country Kitchen, then gathered all my clothes and washed them. By that time Obi-Wan and Hellcat were up and we went back to the Country Kitchen where I had a second breakfast. You really develop an appetite on the trail. We then went to the local outfitter where I bought a new stove, Hellcat bought new shoes and trekking poles and all of us bought some freeze dried food. Next to the grocery store for more food and then to lunch. We lounged around the afternoon cleaning and reorganizing our gear. We had dinner and went to the Lazy Hiker saloon where we carb-loaded.
It felt good to rest.
