    It's funny because you getting emotional over your diner food reminded me so strongly of a chapter of Bryson's "A Walk in the Woods" where he has the same reaction to a lemon meringue pie in a diner. When I went to check, at this point he on almost exactly the same part of the AT as you guys are on! They had just left Dicks Creek Gap:
    ""Dessert was of course the highlight. Everyone on the trail dreams of something, usually sweet and gooey, and my sustaining vision had been an outsized slab of pie. It had occupied my thoughts for days, and when the waitress came to take our order I asked her, with beseeching eyes and a hand on her forearm, to bring me the largest piece she could slice without losing her job. She brought me a vast, viscous, canary-yellow wedge of lemon pie. It was a monument to food technology, yellow enough to give you a headache, sweet enough to make your eyeballs roll up into your head -- everything, in short, you could want in a pie so long as taste and quality didn’t enter into your requirements."

    been meaning to suggest to you: that little bidet cap thing is GREAT - I have one - but a bit tight to stick in a bottle - I found the Evian water bottles are a tad bigger than the others so I use one of their 6 inch tall size bottles for my bidet and just keep it 1/2 full so is light to carry - I use it at home too - gets you clean! Love watching your videos - love your attitude - is infectious.

    We call it a Flip Flop instead of a yoyo. That's what we're planning to do in a couple of years. The trail association is promoting it for lower crowds, and less wear on the trail. Plus you get to hit most of the ideal weather for each section, and there isn't the fear of Katahdin closing before you make it. The Flip Flop traditionally begins on Trail Days in Damascus. Are you going? We will be there this year! (also we're viewers from way back to mid-Lemonade days)

    • @WorldTowning

      We are trying to figure out if we can do Trail Days. We want to. We fly back from Largo's exams on that Friday so will likely go Saturday and then get back on the trail Sunday. I will share it on the vlogs if we will be there. We are thinking of doing a meet-up.
