Eating right now at the Flamingo Family Restaurant in Fayettesville, PA. We hitchhiked a few miles from the trail to the Scottish Inn, an absolute dive of a motel. Luckily though we arrived under the awning moments before a downpour started. So that was fortunately the second time that happened to me. I've yet to walk in rain. As we waited under the awning, deciding whether to stay or try to hitch further into town, I looked into the distant fog and rain, and right above the pest control trucks in the parking lot I could scarcely see the outline of the ridge we just traversed. It was fun to think that I just walked across that mountain.
The rain persisted and blew in under the awning, and we decided to get a room. Because of Lola, we got a pet room, or maybe the pet room. I don't know. It's also the smoking room I think. I won't dwell on its deficiencies and possibly ruin your day with that toxic negativity. So I'll say that a hot shower was nice after 4 days without one. Food was great at the Flamingo, and we beat the rain. Now we need to plan a trip into Boiling Springs, PA, 40 miles away. It'll be nice because the trail runs right through the town. And there's pizza there.
