We enjoy a great forest walk with some nightmare rock patches which require great concentration to walk through. We see quite a few hikers out for the weekend. Walking to the Pinnacles is a popular day hike as it has a great view over the valley.
We get to the Allentown Shelter at around 16 miles, and the spring is really low. We decide to walk on. We call the Blue Mountain B&B and restaurant which is another 4 miles and they say ' last order is at 7.45 and yes we have two vacant rooms 'with jacuzzi'. We decide to go for it and hike the 4 miles in an hour and a half. Over the last mile we can hear the live band playing at the restaurant - the music floats through the forest. We make for dinner with half an hour to spare and have a wonderful meal with wind and the settle in for a spa bath. Such luxury. There is a framed poster of the AT with full length map plus photos in our room, which gives me ideas for what we could do as a presentation.
