Today was a rough day for me. In the morning we started our hike. I could tell that my blood pressure was low and it began to really weigh on me to the point where I didn’t know that I could continue after several miles. The hike from Brink down to Culver Gap was unremarkable, but the low blood pressure was really giving me problems. Mama Bear and Forest Pixie had a very good day, but I told him toward the end of the afternoon that I needed to pull off and rest. We got a ride from Snores,, his real name is Jack, who took us to the Mountain House Twvern where we ate lunch. The girls had hamburgers which they said were extremely good. I had a margarita pizza with fresh basil and mozzarella and the special house tomato sauce, which is very good.
We then tried several motels nearby Culver’s gap and they were all full, so we ended up going into Newton and getting a hotel. We got there about 2 o’clock and immediately took a nap for about four hours before we got up and then went to eat. It was glorious.
After the extended rest, we walked over to Applebee’s and got a good dinner of appetizers. I felt much better.
