We checked out the weather report and decided the 90% chance of rain and a high of 40 degrees was not ideal. Thankfully, Marya offered to let us stay another night to get out of the weather! We decided to check out Asheville for the night and had a blast! We checked out everything in town and met a ton of interesting and friendly people. We walked into one of the outdoor stores to a 2009 hiker who immediately recognized us as hikers and asked if we wanted to stay for their employees only seminar on some gear they carry. We got great food, checked out the local library, signed the 'what to do before I die' wall, and toured the Basilica of St. Lawrence. We were also probably asked about a million times why we were both wearing shorts in the middle of March. We are reveling in the nice quiet oasis of Maryas house before we head back out tomorrow! Here's some pictures from Asheville and more from the last section.
