June 6 – Burgundy and a Bath

Post date: Jun 12, 2012 2:40:35 AM

After the previous two 15 mile days, the game plan today was a leisurely "almost nero day" of 9 miles and a stay at the Burgundy Lane B&B in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania.

As the hikers left the hostel, one of the feline occupants decided to hike along with "Triple T" and did so for the first 30 minutes across a meadow. Soon the hikers then found themselves into the Pen Mar Park.

As the hikers moved deeper into Pen Mar they crossed several streams and "Triple T" decided that was the perfect time to break out a celebratory lunch… leftover pizza from last night!

At Virginia SR16 and after a quick call, a pick-up by the proprietors of the B&B and "Five Pair" was able to check the third of the four sleeping arrangements that "Triple T" would experience in this five day hike, shelter, hostel, B&B and tenting. Upon entry into the B&B, "Triple T" was introduced to Murphy, the dog of the manor, and enjoyed his time with him.

The hikers found themselves into the "Castle Room" which provided that opportunity to take a luxurious bath in the old style ball and claw foot soak tub of which both hikers took advantage. The owner was nice enough to transport the hikers to the local grocer where they could restock and "Triple T" secured another dinner time staple, hotdogs. After the grocery, dinner was served and the hikers called it a day.
