LIVE UPDATE!!

Hey friends! It's Jenga - writing from a public internet terminal in HOT SPRINGS, NC. It's beautiful here! I haven't called home yet today - due to limited/no cell phone service, but I will shortly contact family and a few friends. Thanks mum and Karina for the package and letters! The jerky and goldfish crackers are AMAZING. I'll be sending letters home soon for Erin to type up, but let me just tell ya'll about the past 2 days. Two nights ago we slept out up on the top of Max Patch - it's a beautiful grassy field where you can see millions of stars. We hit it by accident on a new moon and perfectly clear skies - needless to say we didn't sleep too much that night. Then we headed 16 point some miles to Deer Park Mountain Shelter and only got downpoured on for a little while on the way there, felt like our first shower in 9-10 days. But - within 15 minutes of getting to the shelter, the skies let loose and we thought we heard trains. Loz was a little worried, but we hunkered down in the shelter and listened to the thunder echo through the mountains. Priceless. Our timing the past three weeks has been impecable. Got to Hot Springs this AM around 8/830 and got to the post office before it closed, we're all set up in the sweetest hostel ever - an old plantation house and Pinkfire and Loz are showering now - they think I'm doing laundry - which i am - i just took a 30 minute time out to get online. We're gonna clean ourselves up, eat some more amazing food and tonight... oh man tonight... we have reservations for the Hot Springs HOT TUBS!! wicked... they are natural hot springs and they pipe the 105 degree water into actual hot tubs... it's gonna feel pretty close to heaven. Believe it or not - there is a motorcycle rally going on here in Hot Springs this weekend - so Loz is lovin' life - she's planning on getting a motorcycle ride later today too. Life is good - I smell really bad - and I need to go throw our laundry in the dryer. Take care everyone, I think about you all often and I hope to have some more picture and letters to Erin within a few days. LOVE, Jenga
