Day 14 Wayah Bald Shelter to N.O.C.

Rough day! 16.5 miles of rain! Cold narly rain! The Nantahala Outdoor Center is sweet though. There are hostels there and an outfitter. They do whitewater rafting and kayaking trips. They were hosting the US freestyle team trials so there were people everywhere!!! No rooms there so we hitched a ride to Bryson city and stayed there. Pop Tart and Sally were picked up by some trail angels that let us stay in their cabin for a zero day!!!! And they had a hot tub!!!!! Falling Turtle and Irish Charm were great! They meet on the trail and did back to back thru hikes!!! They were married at Trail days in Damascus. Trail Days is a week long party for hikers. I'm probably going to hitch a ride up there and hitch back to where I left off!
