What a wonderful nights sleep last night. It’s a wonder how well I can sleep being tired and on a real bed. Just amazing.

I tinkered around this morning. Took another shower because why not?!?!? Turned the news on and listened to the talk about the hurricane Helene hitting Florida. Sounds lots it’s hitting the southern states pretty hard as well. I’ve gotten a notification from the ATC not recommending hiking the AT below southern Virginia.

I slowly began to pack up. I’ve got until 11 before I’ve got to checkout. Until then I plan on mostly relaxing then packing.

I hiked a total of 2.2 miles to the Warwick Drive In. None of which is on the AT. There’s a ShopRite in front of the drive in that I’ll resupply at and grab food for lunch and snacks for movie tonight. Otherwise the only other plan I have is to get a few journals uploaded.

There’s a table on the side of ShopRite that I organized all my food at. I drank a half gallon of chocolate milk while I was at it. I got a few bananas to eat today and for the morning for some extra potassium.

Kill Bill is going to join me at the drive in. There’s a road crossing about 15 miles earlier than I stopped at that also goes into Warwick. Sounds like he’ll get here around 2ish.

After resupply I headed over to the drive in. There was a worker there preparing some stuff and I checked in with him. For $15 they let you camp, take a chair and borrow a radio to for the movie. It’s a super good deal. I setup my tent and Kill Bill was dropped off. Once we were settled in the two of us went to the Pennings Farm Market. They got outdoor seating and drinks.

Decided to get a 16in pizza for dinner and take it to the drive in. While we watched the cars lineup I chowed down the whole thing. I’ve also got some snacks for later tonight once Twisters starts at 10. Each screen shows two movies a night. Going to be a late night. Not sure how I’m going to stay awake…
