The Hazel Creek Outfitters at Fontana Dam is opening for the season today!
Lucky and i peeked through the window yesterday and they have a pretty decent looking supply.. if limited selection of hiker type foods. Certainly enough to get through the Smokies.
Also the Pit Stop store serves pizza and hotdogs and has a supply of tortillas, gatorade packs, grits, oatmeal packs, vacuum packed peperoni etc.
The wildwood grill is not yet open.
The restaurant in the lodge has pretty good food. Lucky and i thought it was not too expensive for the portion size. It was 8 bucks for the "Hillbilly Benedict".
Anyhow i was sittin here at the computer in the lobby of the lodge and thought i would post an update.
Fontana Dam is just waking up for the season.
Oh yea, the showers are on and working at the "Fontana hilton" shelter i am told by other hikers.
The AT is so freakin' AWESOME! :sun
Gettin back on trail this AM!
Cheers Y'all!
