Left Chestnut Knob shelter at 7:20 to find water. Never did find good water all day long. Lots of streams and springs are dried up from the heat. Made it to Laurel Creek where I was able to call Nigel, a brit who runs a free hostel in Bastian called the Dojo. Very relieved to get a ride into town. The dojo is a karate school with a entertainment area/ lounge area and a shower. The best part about the dojo is that it's next door to pizza plus. Ate a large supreme pizza and about two liters of dr pepper. Drank a couple beers and watched the movie the terminal. Great way to end the day.
Hope you're brushing your teeth or you'll end up with a true Appalachian smile...or lack there of....
