The Yellow Deli hostel was fantastic.  It’s run by the Twelve Tribes, a free spirited religious group.  All the food was fresh and organic.  Dinner last night was preceded by singing, dancing, and testimonials.  It was a nice treat after spending several days on the trail.

  
On the A.T. there are terms for the route you take.  Following the white blazes on the trail is “white-blazing.”  Taking the Shenandoah River from Waynesboro to Harpers Ferry is “aqua-blazing.”  A shortcut on the road is a “yellow-blaze.”  There are lots more, but today I’m “Aero-blazing” from Rutland to Killington Peak where I’ll start hiking.  I’ll be hiking down hill and will hopefully have an easy day.
