8.0 miles hiked, We stopped at the four Pines hostel for the night. We went to the Homeplace restaurant with all-you-can-eat late lunch. It was very very good and we didn’t feel like hiking after. it was a really nice day.
Yesterday we saw this memorial to Audie Murphy 100 feet off the trail. It seemed like an odd spot but I understand he died in a plane crash somewhere in the area. Younger folks may not remember the name but many of us my age and older have heard of him.
