Day 57: Hitchhiking PR (Personal Record)

6.9 miles: Pearisburg to Rice Field Shelter

Because of last minute things in Damascus we tried to accomplish we missed all the rides out of town. This left us to resort to making a sign declaring us as AT (NOT homeless) hikers an our destination and standing on the side of the road. We got a ride to the interstate where after about an hour we got a ride to Pearisburg. In the end it was about a 104 mile hitchhike and we got in at about 4:30 pm. Due to this we were destined for a short hike- even with some night hiking.

During our hike we saw a pack of wild coyotes within a hundred feet of us. It was a bit unsettling but they are more afraid of us than we are of them so they left us alone.
