I woke up well rested and ready to go. We hit the trail early because we had our sights set on making it to the Dutch Haus B&B at a reasonable hour. Our friend Skippy the mad scientist hiked with us for the morning which was nice. We had a tough climb for our first 5 miles but once we were up on the ridge it was smooth sailing from there.

We had arranged a pick up time of 5:00 with Lois and Earl from the Dutch Haus. Earl picked us up and took us back to the B&B. Upon arrival we were greeted by Lois who showed us to our room and gave us robes and a laundry basket for our dirty clothes. Earl followed her with two cold glasses of fresh squeezed lemonade. It was such a treat, we could tell that this place was a well oiled machine when it came to making hikers feel comfortable.

Jason and I quickly showered up and headed down for dinner. We had a first course of salad followed by homemade pizza. It was fabulous-- I think Jason had 5 peices. We even had carrot cake for dessert.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at the Dutch Haus B&B. The great news is that we get to stay here tommorow night too as we are planning on slackpacking.
