Leave it to Hearts...

4/1/08 - Spent a good part of the day in Erwin or getting to Erwin...

• Hiked around 6 mi to a hostel where $3 was spent on a much needed load of laundry & an additional $3 was spent on an even more essential shower.
• Crossed 3rd kayak-able river he didn't get to run... poor Hearts. (No need to be blue: looks like Scot will be down to get him on the 9th!)
• The hostel let him borrow a bike (for free!) to cruise into town.
• Hit up the grocery store, post office & library. Alright, alright - of course he went the local Mexican restaurant... Scarfed down a big order of veggie fajitas. SO FULL he couldn't walk... but managed to find room for a pint of ice cream!! (surprisingly NOT Ben or Jerry)
• Got lost in Erwin on his way out of town...
• Biked a total of 10 mi to and from Erwin. Rode back with a grocery bag on each handlebar : )
• Hiked remaining 4.5 mi to Curley Maple Gap Shelter. Hanging out with Half-Brew (who just got bit by a mouse) & his dog.
