[at-l] Day #3 in Franklin, NC

Hi everyone! We're still here in Franklin, NC, staying warm and dry 
along with about 25 other thru-hikers who have escaped the bitter cold 
temperatures up in the mountains. We're having a wonderful time, meeting 
lots of new people, eating great southern cooking, and relaxing! 
Cheryl's knee now has a new brace, which will hopefully keep things 
together for the next stretch through to Fontana Dam and then into the 
Smokies. We're anxious to get going again after 3 days off, but not 
anxious to spend another night in 0 degree temps. A "warm front" is 
heading our way on Saturday, so we're heading out tomorrow morning and 
should be in Fontana Dam in about 6 or 7 days. We have met many of the 
ATML class of '98 (Cricket, Flamingo, Ultralight, Magaroni, Viking, 
Dharma Bum & Yoon). Hope everyone back home is doing well. We should 
have internet access in Hot Springs in a few weeks, so we'd love to hear 
from family and friends (we may not be able to reply to everyone, but 
would love to hear from everyone and see how you're doing). Thanks to 
all who have sent messages previously. It was great to get 20+ new 
messages when we arrived here. Thanks for all the encouragement!
