It’s one of those good news/bad news kind of days. 

We had a short hike today. Mostly through, or alongside, farm fields. Hiking through meadows, pastures, and fields is one if my favorite parts of the AT. The reason for the short hike?  OC does not feel well. That’s the bad news part of the day. 

The good news part?  We pulled into civilization for the night. That means a cozy bed and hot food. In fact, it was a gyro and fries for lunch. Followed by a steak and sides for dinner. Plus, I had dessert with each meal. How can you pass up cheesecake?  It is kind of fun to eat everything in sight and know it will be burnt off.  Excess calories at this point are a good thing. 

Hopefully food, rest, and some OTC medicine will help OC feel better. 

If not, we will figure out a plan B. 

For now…it’s a comfy bed and air conditioning.

I can’t complain.
