July 25th, ZERO DAY

Switched rooms early in the morning after helping my self to the hotel's breakfast.  Ate at Mings buffet again for lunch, still eating like a horse.  I've lost 25 pounds so far, keep having to tighten the belt on my pants and on my pack.  Hopefully I wont be a total skeleton by the end of the trip.  Got some food supplies over at CVS to carry me through the Shenandoah National Park.  Ate a large pizza, along with a bunch of ice cream.  Watched some TV while all my wet gear was drying in the sun.  Tomorrow I start hiking again, and I'm anxious because I hear the Shenandoahs are the place to be on the AT.  We'll find out tomorrow.
