We hiked down the trail and about .3 miles off of it to the Mountain Harbour Hostel \/ B&#038;B. This place is really nice and a huge step up from some of the prior establishments that we have stayed at so far (no sarcasm). We hung out with some other thru-hikers (from the notorious Highway Shrimp gang&#8230; Don&#8217;t ask&#8230;) for the afternoon as more thunderstorms rolled through. We went into the town of Roan Mountain and got some pizza and milkshakes for dinner, which was also quite good. Definitely a great spot to take a nearo day. We hit a nice milestone today by leaving North Carolina for good. <\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/hnatow.com\/happytrails\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/wpid-wp-1400029852816.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"wp-1400029852816\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" alt=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/hnatow.com\/happytrails\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/wpid-wp-1400029852816.jpeg\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Not sure what&#39;s up with the skull!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We are now in Tennessee only until we hit Virginia.
