Back Home Again Hostel in Rutland, VT

This journal entry had to written after the fact due to the dropped PocketMail so the details may be weak.

This day I took a zero to do a few things.
First off I needed to resupply. There were two stores very near the hostel so that was easy.
Secondly I wanted to wait for people to catch up with me waiting for PocketMail. I left messages in the shelter journals yesterday that said I would be here and I am hoped somebody would come into town with my PocketMail. It has lots of irreplaceable information in there such as addresses and notes along with journal entries.
The people at the hostel are very nice. It is part of and Organization called Twelve Tribes. It a a Christian commune and if one pitched in to help run the cafe or baker on site the lodging was free and this is what I did. I helped out the baker with his computer problems and around the bakery. For this not only did I get to spend the night but they treated me to some of the best food I have had all trail. Lots if organic produce, good baked goods, and very awesome teas. I was having a blast.
The final reason I was sitting around is I would be hiking my Uncle Richard for the day tomorrow.
The PocketMail never showed up nor any other hiker. Despite this I had a great time as the Twelve Tribes people are really nice to hang out with.
