Walked off another map yesterday, only two more maps and we are out of VA! Not a bad night’s sleep for a primitive camp site. There was some slope, but nothing we couldn't deal with. Those of you who know CC will be amazed at how she has no problems waking up at 6-6:30AM and functioning. She really isn't a morning person, but life on the trail has forced her into it :-) We were on the trail by 8:30AM. We bounced between 2,700' and 3,200' all the way to US52 into the town of Bland. We had a great [View Full Entry]

Early rise again and on the trail by 8:15AM. Restful nights sleep. We met the first NoBo about 50' from our camp. Dingo said he left the Jenkins Shelter real early to get ahead of the crowd. Said there were a dozen folks there last night and he wanted to beat them all to town. The trail was supposed to cross VA 610 then criss-cross Little Wolf Creek for almost five miles, but it has been relocated. We walked down the road a piece and then went almost straight up on the old "High Water" detour trail. We went from 2,500' [View Full Entry]

Happy Birthday to our daughter Joline. The night passed uneventfully. It was a bit cool as I popped my head out of the tent for the first time. I guess the cold settled in the river bottom. We were up by 6:45AM and on the trail at 8:30. We took our time with breakfast and packing. The trail designers were kind to us today. We left Dismal Creek Falls and headed for VA606 over a bunch of PUDS, but never more than 100' or so lost or climbed, but in total we lost 200' in two miles. Just after the [View Full Entry]
