Another restful night tenting. Woke up to the tent soaked with a heavy dew. (It's now drying out on the lawn here at the hostel)
We had an interesting hike today. The first half was a repeat of the past two days...easy ups & downs. The second half reminded us how tough the trail can be. It was a 3 hour steep climb that took everything I had to finish today.
We're now at another great hostel, but tonight they're not cooking dinner. We we wondering what to do when Maglav and JB came to the hostel and invited Buffalo Bobby and me to join them tonight for dinner in town. Maglav's Daughter is picking us up. Another piece of trail magic out of the blue.
Tomorrow we will make Pearisburg, VA where we're thinking of taking a "0" on Tuesday.
Another great day,

ReplyDeleteI think the real "Trail Magic" is that the longer you're hiking, the younger you're looking!!!! I think I may need to plan a quick trip down the trail in a few short years!! LOL!!! Anyone want to join me???
ReplyDeleteHope the weather clears up for you really soon and you have sunnier trail days ahead!! We'll see you when you hit Litchfield County in Connecticut!!!
Lots of love,
