Miles: 207.3 | A true zero day in Gatlinburg. Pancakes masquerading as “flapjacks,” a much-needed real coffee, long naps, and quiet time spent organizing gear and catching up on blogging. Dinner is casual, eaten outside with trail friends, and the day ends exactly how it’s supposed to — slow, simple, and restorative after everything the Smokies have thrown at us.
We went out for breakfast first thing in the morning. They served 'flapjacks' which were definitely actually pancakes... they didn't serve maple syrup. After breakfast I made up for it with a good Flat White from a Starbucks across the way. We went back to the Motel and napped and organized our gear. I blogged for a bit.
We went out for dinner around 6pm. The boys got Five Guys while I seemed out a Margherita and a Burrito at a Tex Mex place around the corner. We all got it to go and ate outside Five Guys.
It was a good, Lazy zero. I really needed it.
