The guys are staying in Franklin, NC tonight. Porter went to the ER at Angel Medical Center to get his knee checked out because it is hurting him. He is fine. The official diagnosis is, "He's OLD!" Well, maybe the doc didn't exactly put it that way but it's wear and tear that comes with age. Porter was given a couple of ace bandages to wrap his knee and some Advil and was sent on his way. Porter reports that he is doing fine but wanted to be safe rather than sorry. It is nothing that will keep him down, he said. (If you enlarge the map enough, you can actually see Angel Medical Center.)
They had a laundry day on Sunday. Glad to know they will smell good for a least one day. They also met some other hikers and had a meal with them.

Hey Pace, you were born to be bald! This is a great blog! Dreamer has a descriptive talent. I look forward to what's ahead. Somehow I don't think I need to worry about you guys- you look like pieces of iron! Persevere, Euclid
