August 20:Rain, Rain, Go Away...

We woke up to the sound of rain falling outside. We ate some breakfast and slowly began to pack up our bags when Flippy popped his head into the room to inform us that everyone else was taking the day off. The weather report said that it was going to rain all day and that it was supposed to clear upthe next day sometime. Checkout was noon, so we had a few hours to wait it out and decide.

We went back and forth, but ended up staying. We added a 6th hiker to our room, so the cost went down slightly per person, which helped.

The front desk had some movies we could rent for $1/day (VHS!), so we watched 3 movies on the tiniest TV ever. One just happened to be a 1989 ESPN Sports Bloopers that was horrible!

We cooked food, relaxed, and watched movies, but by the end of the day I was ready to hit the trail in the morning, rain or shine (hoping, praying for shine). It was good to rest, but it was starting to feel like we were barely hiking! We went to bed, hopeful that tomorrow would bring blue skies and sunshine our way.
