mst Trek Day 63

I should have expected this, because I have hit nearly every "out of the norm" weather event on this trail. We had to err on the side of caution today.  Currently, we are in the Hampton Inn in Goldsboro after spending the night with our new trail angel, Kevin.  Yesterday evening, we had some interesting entertainment in between the rain bands.  We were staying not far from the Air Force's Top Gun training school.  About every 20-30 minutes, we could hear the airplanes flying over, doing dog-fight training exercises.  Tennille wasn't sure what to make of the noise, just that she didn't like it.  I think it reminded her of the wind during the storm were caught in during our trek through the Nantahala Forest.  Our stop at the hotel was unexpected and a last minute decision, due to the tropical storm that came through.  We thought it best, since Tennille couldn't see the cars for me and I couldn't hear them-- not a good combo.  Decided it would be safer to stay, dry out our gear, and head out again the morning. Tomorrow we hope to go over the 700 mile mark, and Kevin has offered to pick us up from the trail again and bring us back to his house for a cookout.  He also came and got us from the hotel and took us to Outback Steakhouse for dinner.  Thank you VERY much, Kevin.  We are hoping today will be out last "zero"  before the end.  The storm is expected to be out of here by morning, and it's supposed to be sunny, extremely hot, and humid.  I really hope we can get our miles in before the afternoon thunderstorms they are predicting.
