Day 60: Twenty Miler

21.2 miles: Laurel Creek Shelter to VA 620 

Today was a good day. I finished the first ten miles so fast that I was able to take a siesta and get out of the heat for awhile. I started my new book: Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. 

We camped with 2 nice people: Stash and Rapunzel. 



Trail taking us back up to the mountains.

Day 59: Reunited

17.3 miles: The Captains to Laurel Creek Shelter

Today was wet. It didn't pour but it was very humid and the whole forest was wet. At the end of the day we found a bunch of friends (old and new) at the shelter. Including: 2 ferns, Jersey Girl, Scout, and Tumbles. 











Day 58: West Virginia (By God!)

13.8 miles: Rice Field Shelter to The Captains 

Today we crossed into WV for a brief moment and it was marked by a very nice sign. After hiking for awhile we came to The Captains. This place is a very hiker friendly guys house where he offers free camping, sodas, and wifi. You access his house via zip line. Yes zip line.


Tric on the zip line.
