Hot Springs, NC - April 25-26

We came into the town of Hot Springs, NC on Monday, April 25th, right after Easter Sunday. It is a true hiker town - the AT runs right through the town. The town is not large, consisting mainly of one main street, but it has everything hikers need - post office, library, outfitters, grocery store, a few places to stay and places to eat. Hot Springs was teaming with thru-hikers. We met up with many of our old hiking acquaintences again here.

About 14 hikers met at the local grille for dinner. We met up with alot of our friends here.

About 9 hikers share a room above the sports bar
