It's cold in Hot Springs

Greetings from the historic town of Hot Springs, NC.

Mike and I did a 27 mile day in to town yesterday. We were treated to some beautiful ridgewalks and a steep but breathtaking descent in to town. We met Keiths mom and her husband Bill, and Lisas mom and brother. They treated us to a great dinner last night and have put us up in a hostel for the next two nights.

We are going to hang out for the day, laying low and staying out of the rain. The hostel has a great movie selection and there is a local bar showing college football all day, so I think we'll manage to stay entertained.

Onward to the Smokies tomorrow!
