In Pearisburg for a zero day tomorrow.  Got in around noon, checked in, got a shower and lunch.  Hike in from Doc's Knob was fairly easy, mostly level before dropping into town.  Once we ate things got trickier--could not find a barber or the library so we got out bounce boxes from the P.O., dropped them off at our rooms and went to DQ for a milk shake.  Then back to the room for a nap.  Did laundry, ate Chinese food  and made phone calls.  Talked to Maggie and Bev Carver about arrangements for Maggie's visit in June.  Also cleaned gear and made an alcohol stove from a Coke can.  Tomorrow:  groceries, email and test the stove.
