Trekking/Hiking 2:00:00 [3]
The forecast today indicated that I would have a narrow weather window in which to get a fun activity in. I chose the nearby Arethusa Falls, which still had a fair amount of climbing, but nothing like I’d done the day before!
It was a short but challenging hike, with a beautiful view point of the falls at the end of it.
When I got back to the campground, I met 3 AT thru hikers (a couple whose trail names are Bed and Breakfast because he carries the tent and she carries the food, and a third hiker named Aldo) who were looking for a place to stay for the night to get out of the forecasted storm. I happily offered up my site to them, and got to spend the rest of the day as a Trail Angel for them. I took them into town for supplies, made them dinner, and we hung out in Earl when the weather got bad. As a thru hiker fan girl, it was a dream come true! I got to ask all the AT questions I ever wanted and really enjoyed helping them out!
