Day 22, Hot Springs

Town day!!!!! I arrived in Hot Springs at 1330. It was a long down hill hike that killed my knees and shines😩. I was able to checkin my room early so was able to shower and do laundry before Jared arrived. Once chores were done I headed to the outfitters for some equipment changes to help my legs and knees-ran into Jared just outside the Outfitters so we grabbed a quick lunch and that beer I have been thinking about the last two days. Jared brought the scales from home so I could see how much I lost and -12 pounds since 3/14. The AT diet my not be for everyone but it gets results-burn 4000-6000 calories a day and consume only 2500-3000 while hiking 11-18 miles carrying a 28 lb pack up 3500-5000 ft elevation change. Whats not to like-opportunity to excel.
