🌜Elmer’s Sunnybank Inn

Short day, by design. About 11 miles descending into Hot Springs NC. My plan was to get up early and make it to the town’s diner by lunch. Nailed it!

Next: find accommodations- Nailed it! “Elmer’s” is the oldest building in town (1840) and the owner was an AT through-hiker in his youth. Very friendly bohemian vibe here. Feel lucky to experience this place.

Finally some provisions… and I was covered there too. Great outfitter store and some local grocery stores to weigh me down for the next couple miles😅

Only bummer is that I was planning to actually experience the hot springs here…. But the town had a lot of hurricane damage last year so many businesses are not fully operational yet. The hot springs spa/resort is only open weekends now and is still rebuilding- so reservations are very much needed weeks in advance 😩 I’ll have to plan for next time!
