SNP Fatty Tour

I've been hiking through Shenandoah National Park the last four or five days. It's been good, and a bit different than the rest of my hike. Since it's a huge tourist attraction there are Waysides with food and lodges with restaurants throughout the park. I essentially hiked from one food spot to the next. I was thankful for the motivation, because I've been feeling exhausted lately and uninterested in trail food. 

Another really cool thing about the Park was the people I met and their generosity. My second day in the park the older gentleman working the Wayside hooked me up with way more food than I ordered and a free coffee. The third day I got another free coffee at the camp store and then got invited to stay in a cabin with some awesome section hikers. I got to sleep in a warm dry cabin (it rained 4+ inches that night) and they bought dinner and drinks. So generous! 

The next morning I stopped at another Wayside and I chatted with a cyclists for a while and he bought me breakfast! That evening I went to Skyland Restaurant and ordered a quesadilla, a drink, and dessert and got the drink and dessert for free!

Yesterday I got a free beer and some bananas from some trail maintainers. 

So much food!
