Today's hike took me across Hwy 11, with a stop at a service station convenience store. After a delightful high calorie lunch, I retuned to the road to continue my hike. The problem was that I went the wrong way on the road and waited "too far" to double check my map. I hate it when that happens! Once back on the trail, I later found a tent site. My total today was 23.2

Today my trek included a hike along Chestnut Ridge. This must be one of the longest bald the trail covers in one stretch. It seemed to go on for a couple of miles. There is a converted fire warden's cabin at the high point of the bald. Now it's a shelter, but it's one of only a couple shelters that have four walls and a door. I hiked further, about 15 miles, and found a another tent site.

Today's highlight was another great lunch with Fresh Ground and his Leap Frog Cafe. He's planning on following the bubble of hikers that I'm currently in, all the way to Maine. It's great knowing he'll be around, if I can keep up! Besides the food, he's providing insights to being on the trail long term. This is valuable information. 20.2 miles today.

Miles today: 7.4
Weather: overcast clouds

Part of today's hike was through a prescribed burn area by the US Forest Service. It was an eerie walk through the burnt and smoldering forest floor. I was headed to the Woods Hole Hostel. It was a great choice. Besides the great atmosphere, I enjoyed two wonderful meals and a mixed berry shake. 7.4 miles today.

To: Pine Swamp Branch Shelter
Miles today: 19.3
Weather: broken clouds

I left Pearisburg today, which included the usual climb up to the ridge tops. There were nice views into the valleys on both sides of the ridge. The forest is really greening up now. I spent the night at Pine Swamp Branch Shelter. My total for the day was 19.3 miles.

Miles today: 22.8

Today's lesson was to balance the urgency to get off an exposed ridge in stormy weather and the need to use the appropriate caution in slippery conditions. The wind, rain, and the slippery rocks made for dicey conditions traversing an exposed ridge. A few falls and multiple stumbles made me glad to finish that section of the trail with only a few new bruises. I made it to the Pickle Branch Shelter after a 22.8 mile day.

Today the Trail took me past two of it's more iconic spots. The first was Dragons Tooth, but the stone monoliths were in the clouds today. The place had an ethereal feel to it. It took me until late afternoon to reach McAfee Knob. The lateness of the day and the light rain may have been the reasons I was alone there. So there was no one to photograph me out on the knob. Views were still impressive. Tonight the Campbell Shelter after a 17 mile day.

Miles today: 15.4
Weather: mist

I hiked over Tinker Cliffs today. I also got a good look at them from below. An unintentional route deviation. I lost track of the trail and that gave me the views from underneather the rock over hangs. I'm in Daleville, VA tonight. 15.4 miles. I'll be taking a zero day there and addressing some equipment issues. The trip mileage total so far is 723.5 miles, which means I'm about one third of the way completed.

After two zero days in Daleville, I returned to the trail well rested and ready to go. A fellow thru hiker, Frost, was slack packing the same section. When he hiked past me, he invited me to join him, his fiancee, and a few other hikers at the Homeplace Restaurant in Catawba,VA. It's an all you can eat restaurant served family style. I didn't need a lot of persuasion to return to town and join the group for dinner. It was well worth it! I hiked 19.9 miles today.

To: Cornelius Creek Shelter
Miles today: 17.0
Weather: clear sky

I got shuttled back to where I stopped yesterday. My start was later than usual, so I intended a shorter hike today. The question is-How do you get a tired hiker to hike an additional 5 miles up hill? The answer-Have a troop of Boy Scouts at the shelter I intended to end my day at! I make it to the Cornelius Creek Shelter, 17.0 miles.

Today I crossed the James River on the longest "foot only" bridge on the Appalachian Trail. Not only is it the longest bridge on the AT, it's the longest bridge in the Nat'l Park and Forest system. The bridge is 625 feet long and is near Glasgaw VA. I hiked 21.6 miles today and made it to the John's Hollow Shelter.

I stopped at Fresh Ground's Leap Frog Cafe for the last time. Fresh Ground has made his final setup of the Trail Magic. He's provided nourishment for this year's hiker's bodies and souls at five different stops. Starting at mile 21 NB and the last at mile 808. I'm very grateful for what he provided for me and the other hikers on our journey north. Best wishes to Fresh Ground. I finished my day at Priest Mountain Shelter. 20.6 miles
