October 29, Sunday, Day 26

Davidson River, Asheville, NC

It was cold this morning, but no freezing. I opted to shower, but even though the water was plenty hot, the breeze blowing through the screened louvers was quite invigorating! I just tried to keep relaxing and breathing. I got out of there ASAP!

Dan showed up right at noon; Penny was just finishing her chicken pot pie to share with our hostesses for lunch, so we headed over to Jennifer and Carol’s house for an afternoon of food anf football. Jennifer had prepared delicious pulled pork for dinnertime sandwiches. I had made brownies for dessert, but we were all so full only a few got sampled.

Jennifer and Carol were so gracious; they even encouraged us to bring our laundry over,so we did!

The three of us got back to the ITLDO ready to hit the hay. The thermometer was dropping quickly and food coma syndrome made us think about hibernating. Dan slept in his van as usual. As a precaution, I strapped a pair of wool socks around the two drain pipes that hang down below the insulated floor of the trailer. Penny piled up blankets on the bed and we were fine!
