Miles today: 29.6
Weather: broken clouds

05/27/12 (sekmadienis) 29.6 ¢ 777.1 Cove Mtn ¢ Matts Creek         Jennings Creek - vieta, kur ryto saule, letai kopdama dangumi, ap¡viecia smaragdo spalvos ¢maudymosi skyle¢ arba angli¡kai - swimming hole. Taip yra vadinama giloka upelio dalis, kur gali pliu¡kentis lyg balejoje. Tai a¡ toje ¢skyleje¢ ir prasitur¡kiau daugiau kaip pusvalandi. O, tai buvo puiku.Ketinau stoti poilsiui Cornelius Creek Shelter, bet prie¡ pat ji ant med34io radau skelbimuka, kad ties Thunder Hill nusimato haikeriu maitinimas. Va cia - daiktas. Pernai metais man irgi pasitaike proga ten privalgyti. Tai a¡ ¢papu¡inau¢save , kad laiku suspeciau. Ir suspejau, ir privalgiau ir dar dovanu gavau raudono akmens rutuliuka atminciai.Iki Matts Creek, kur planavau apsistoti nakciai ¢ trylika myliu, o dabar jau puse keturiu. Skaiciuojant 2 mylias per valanda ¢ 6.5 valandos ejimo. Ka34kur apie de¡imta vakaro tureciau buti vietoje. Dabar - vasara, temsta labai velai ir vakariene nebereikia rupintis, 34iurek kad suvir¡kintum visus suvalgytus begemoto dyd34io pietus.  ita paskutine tako atkarpa nuo Highcock kalno iki Matts Creek man yra viena i¡ smagiausiu ir a¡ i¡ ties jauciausi puikiai. Pasiekiau ¡elteri jau visai sutemus ir paskutinias mylias ejau pasi¡viesdamas pro34ektoriuku. Teko stebeti viena man dar nematyta vaizda: spindulio ap¡iestos, abipus tako tarp lapu lyg ma34yciai brilijantai blizgejo ¡imtai voru akiu. Tukstanciai akiu, ir tai buvo nepakartojama.---|---OK. I am at Jennings Creek - a place where the morning sun, slowly climbing through the sky, illuminated the emerald colored "swimming hole", where I took a splash more than half an hour. Oh, it was fantastic.I was planned to rest at Cornelius Creek, but just before I found a note on the tree that sounded promising: hikers feed will be at Thunder Hill shelter. Last year I also had a chance to eat there. So I pushed myself forward to get in time. And I have gotten fantastic meal and another gift - a red stone marble to remember this delightful moment on the trail. Thanks very much for everybody who made hikers happy.To the Matts Creek, where I planned to stay at night - thirteen miles, and now it is half an hour to four. Calculating 2 miles per hour - 6.5 hours walk. I should be in place somewhere around ten PM on the evening. It's getting dark late, and there is no need to take care about dinner, only to work hard by digesting this hippo-sized lunch I have eaten earlier.I like this final section of the trail between Highcock Mtn and Matts Creek. For me, this part is one of the most beautiful, and I really felt great. The last couple miles I walked in the dark. I've seen one yet unseen picture. In the beam of light, on both sides of the trail between the leaves like tiny diamonds glistered hundreds of spiders eyes. Thousands of eyes, and it was incredible.

Miles today: 22.4
Weather: scattered clouds

05/29/12 (antradienis) 22.4 ¢ 821.7 Brown Mtn - The PriestPalikau Brown Mtn Creek anksti ryte. Oras ¢ nuostabus ir keliauti buvo vienas malonumas. Nutariau neu34sukti i Dutch House. Maisto turiu iki pat Waynesboro ir dabar tik pirmyn, negai¡tant laiko, juolab kad ¡i tako atkarpa man labai jau pa34istama.Ne34inau ar tai likimo ironija ar atsitiktinumas, bet ant Priest kalno butinai prapliumpa lietus ir 34aibuoja. Taip atsitiko ir ¡i vakara. Tik pavalgiau ir jau teko listi palapinen. Tik viena beda. Vieta jai pasistatyti pasirinkau idealiai lygia. Pasirodo, tai ir buvo problema. Nuo ¡laito tekantis vandens srautas kaip tik tekejo po palapines dugnu. 12od34iu ¢ plaukiau. Bet viskas gerai ¢ dugnas nepraleido ne la¡o ir, nustojus lyti, vanduo nuseko. Tai tiek trumpai.---|---I left Brown Mtn Creek early in the morning. Weather - awesome and travel it is a pleasure. I decided not to visit Dutch House. I have enough food to get to Waynesboro, and now I just want to move forward, not losing precious time, especially since this section of the trail is already very familiar to me.I do not know what happens with whether. It's ironic or a coincidence, but for me on Priest Mountain definitely rains and bursts out lightning storms. That what is happened tonight. Just ate a dinner and had to get into the tent as quickly as possible. Only one problem. The place I¢ve chosen to build the tent was perfect level. It turns out that was the problem. From the slope, the flowing stream of water just flowed under the tent floor. In short ¢ I¢m swimming. But everything turned out to be all right - the floor did not miss a single drop. Rain has stopped, and the water dried up. That¢s it for now.

Weather: overcast clouds

Nuo Priest kalno iki tilto per Tye upe nusiritau greitai. Prad34ioje dangumi kuri tai laika plauke lietingi debesys, bet neu34ilgo i¡sigiedrijo ir nu¡vito saule. Atsisedau ant tilto laipteliu ir gerai u34kandau, nes sekantis sustojimas bus tik ties Maupin Field.Neu34ilgo priejau vieta kur AT suko link Harpers Creek, o Mau-Har takas trumpino kelia net keturiom myliom. Taigi, kaip ir 06¢, pasukau trumpuoju ir neapsirikau. Takas ejo i¡ilgai kalnu upok¡nio su eile kriokliu. Ties vienu tokiu sustojau kilus vaizduoteje nuodemingam paveikslui: nuoga mergina, glamonejama ¡iltu saules spinduliu, maudosi krintanciuose vandens pursluose...Nakvoti stojau ties Paul C. Wolf Shelter stovyklaviete. Visada norejau pernakvoti ¡ioje vietoje, kur energetine aplinka tiesiog spinduliuoja ramybe. Vakara praleidau neseniai i¡ejusio pensijon kari¡kio ¡eimos kompanijoje, besikalbant prie plevenancios lau34o liepsnos.---|---From the Priest mountain to the bridge over Tye River I rolled down pretty quickly. Initially, in the sky swam rainy clouds, but soon brightened and the sun lit up. I sat down on the bridge steps and took a good snack because my next stop will be only at the Maupin Field.Soon I came to a place where AT whirled toward Harpers Creek and the Mau-Har Trail shortened way even for four miles. So, like in 06 ', I turned on the shortcut, and I was right. The trail went along a mountain brook with a series of waterfalls. I stopped at one such and had sinful picture in my imagination: a naked girl caressed by the warm rays of the sun bathed in the falling water-filled spatters ...I stopped to stay overnight at the Paul C. Wolf Shelter campsite. I always wanted to spend the night in this place, where energy environment just radiates serenity. I spent an evening in the company of the retired military family, talking and sharing stories, watching the campfire flames fluttering in the air...

06/02/12 (¡e¡tadienis) 30.3 ¢ 906.6 Blackrock ¢ Nakvyne ant takoTik pradejus ¡visti mane pa34adino u34 poros metru tupintis skard34iabalsis pauk¡tukas. Ne 34adintuvo reikejo. Ilgai nesivarciau ir netrukus jau 34ingsniavau ryto saules nu¡viestu taku. Po vakar dienos lietaus smarkiai atveso ir eiti buvo labai smagu.Loft Mountain Campground parduotuveje nusipirkau dideli sumu¡tini su suriu ir kumpiu. Pasi¡ild34iau ji mikrobangeje, o desertui dar suvalgiau ledu. Puse valandos pailsejau ir vel kulniavau toliau.  iandien ma34daug trecdali kelio 34ingsniavau plentu. Tiesa sakant Shenandoah parkas yra ¡iek tiek nuobodus, juolab kad a¡ cia jau esu buves ir todel ejimas plentu ine¡e i mano gyvenima ¡iek tiek ivairoves. Kar¡tesne diena eiti plentu svilinant saulei ¢ menkas malonumas, taciau ¡i diena tokiam voja34ui ¢ pats tas.Nakvoju ant tako. Tikraja ta 34od34io prasme. Kaip ir 2006-tais metais. Ka34kokia nostalgija jauciu tai vietai. Jau visai sutemus i¡siviriau vakariene ir dar teko vaikyti nuo mano ko¡es puodo viena laibai ikyria ir i34ulia pele. Ale visai bjaurybe nebijo 34moniu. Ilga ¡iandien buvo ejimo diena ¢ nuo pat sauletekio iki pat saulelyd34io. O dabar ¢ miegot.---|---At dawn, I was awakened by small but incredible voiced small bird sitting a couple of meters near by. Natural alarm clock, I thought. As quickly as possible I gathered my stuff. After yesterday's rain air has cooled considerably and was a pleasure to walk on the trail lit up in the morning sun.At Loft Mountain Campground store, I have bought a large sandwich with cheese and ham. Heated it in the microwave and then ate ice cream for dessert. Half an hour I rested and then moved on. Today, about one-third of the trail I generally went on Skyland Drive. Actually Shenandoah Park is a bit tedious, especially since I have been here so walking on the highway thus brought into my life a little diversity. Set up my tent for the night on the trail. Literally. In the true sense of the word, as in 2006th. I feel some sort of nostalgic to this place. In complete darkness, I made my dinner, and even had to chase off my porridge pot one very intrusive and audacious mouse. This villain does not feel threatened of people. Today was a long day of walking - from sunrise until sunset. And now - to bed.

Miles today: 22.6

06/05/12 (antradienis) 22.6 ¢ 979.6 Compton Peak ¢ G.R. Thompson Wildlife Management AreaViskas. Pagaliau palikau Shenandoah Nacionalini Parka. Taip, jis yra gra34us, vaizdingas ir lengvas keliauti. Taciau ¡is parkas yra daugiau skirtas motorizuotiems keliautojams. Va34iuoja tokie su automobiliais, ¢mocikais¢ plentu, sustoja vadinamuose outlook¢uose ir gali geretis puikiausiais vaizdais, o hikeriams skirtas takas da34nai neturi tokios galimybes. Gal todel savo ¡iu metu 34ygyje a¡ nedvejodamas beveik puse parko nu34ingsniavau plentu.Ka34kur visai prie¡ pat nakvynes vieta sutikau pagyvenusiu 34moniu pora. Jie dailino taka: vyri¡kis su sunkesniu irankiu ¡onines krumu ¡akas ¡alino, o moteri¡ke ¢ 34ole abipus tako ¡ienavo. Sustojau ir labai nuo¡ird34iai padekojau u34 ju darba.Nakvoti sustojau G.R. Thompson Wildife Management Area. Tai did34iule, beveik 6.25 kvadratiniu myliu (17 km2) teritorija, skirta med34ioklei, 34vejybai ir laukines gamtos stebejimui. Tarp krumynu atradau gra34iai nu¡ienauta aik¡tele ir joje pasistates palapine i¡siviriau vakariene. Keisti debesys ¡iandien plaukia dangumi. Labai keisti¢¦---|---That's it. Finally, I left the Shenandoah National Park. Yes, it is beautiful, and scenic, and easy to navigate. However, this park is more for motorized travelers. They rides parkway on the cars and bikes just stopping to enjoy the finest views at dedicated for that outlooks. We - the hikers often do not have such possibility. Because of that almost half of the park without hesitation I walked on parkway.Somewhere just before hitting the place for night stay I met the elderly couple. Men with more heavier tool cleared shrub branches, and the woman - she cut grass on both sides of the trail. I stopped and very warmly thanked for their work.Overnight I stopped at G.R. Thompson Wildlife Management Area. It's a huge, nearly 6.25 square miles ( 17 km2) area for hunting, fishing and wildlife observation. Between bushes, I found a beautifully mowed area and there I pitched my tent and made the dinner. Strange sky clouds are flying today. Very strange ...

Jauciausi puikiai pailsejes ir iki Rod Hollow tiesiog nupuciau nes takas buvo lengvas ir lygus. U34 Rod Hollow prasidejo ¢roller coaster¢ ¢ kalnu bangos ¢ tokios neauk¡tos, bet labai ikyrios. U34lipi, nulipi, u34lipi¢¦ir taip ¡e¡i kalneliai. Bears Den hostelis kur ¡iandien apsistojau ¢ ant septinto.Bears Den dar buvo pusiau u34darytas, kai cia atejes radau kelis hikerius jau besiilsincius. Vienas kambarys buna visada atviras purviniems, smirdintiems pavargeliams. Gali nusiprausti po du¡u, i¡ ¡aldytuvo pasiimti ledu ar gerimelio kaniuka. Penkta valanda atejo hostelio pri34iuretojas ir jau tada apsiforminau nakvynei. Kaina su vakariene ir rytojaus pusryciais - $27. Nuostabu. Ka34kokios veiklos cia daug nebuvo, tik ¢pavargeliai¢ i¡sitiese ant sofos 34iurejo ¢stebukla¢ ¢ televizoriu.U34sira¡iau 2012 thru-hikeriu lape, kabanciame ant sienos.

Darausi i34ymus.Rytoj ¢ senas istorinis Harpers Ferry miestelis ¢ simbolinis AT puskelis, kuriame randasi Appalachian Trail Conservancy ¢ organizacija, koordinuojanti visa ¢2181 mylios ilgio veikla¢. ---|---All night fell light rain and even in the morning sky was cloudy. But soon the sun appeared through the edge of the clouds. I felt well rested, the trail was easy and smooth and Rod Hollow shelter I reached as being on a fly. I did not stopped here and began the "roller coaster" - a bunch of the mountain waves - low profile, but very obtrusive - up, down, up... So, I did six hills until Bears Den Hostel on the seventh. I am going to stay there for the night.Bears Den was still half closed when I came down and found a few hikers already resting. One room is always open for dirty, smelly and tired hikers. Here, you may take a shower, pick up the ice cream or (and) soda out of the refrigerator. At five o'clock came the hostels caretaker and I signed for the night. Price for stay including dinner and tomorrow's breakfast - $27. Perfect. Here were not a lot of activity today only weary folk lay back on the couch watching Miracle - the TV.I signed on the 2012 thru-hikers poster hanging on the wall. Here, also is 2006s poster with my name. I am becoming a ¢celebrity¢.Tomorrow - the old historic town of Harpers Ferry ¢ symbolic AT halfway, in which resides the Appalachian Trail Conservancy - an organization co-ordinating activity of the entire 2181 mile long AT.

06/07/12 (treciadienis) 19.7 ¢ 1016.6 Bears Den Hostel ¢ Harpers FerryDvide¡imt myliu iki Harpers Ferry visi¡kai neprailgo.  e¡ta ryto a¡ jau buvau kelyje. Tik dar u34sukau pafotografuoti nuo Bears Den Rock ky¡ulio. Ryto saules nu¡viestas slenis jau budo ir ka34kur tolumoje girdejosi u34iantis plentas. Nuotaika buvo puiki.Jau einant tiltu per Shenandoah upe mane apeme savoti¡kas pasidid34iavimo savimi jausmas: taip, ¡itas senas Harpers Ferry miestas yra psichologinis puskelis ir a¡ ji pasiekiau! Tolumoje horizonte mil34ini¡ki audros debesys pilde dangu, o cia ant tilto ¡viete saule ir a¡ jauciausi laimingas. Paskutini karta cia lankiausi 2009-tais metais per musu su Rima rudens atostogas. Tada mes cia atva34iavome praleisti pora dienu, pasivaik¡cioti po ¡i sena istorini miesteli, stovinti Potomac ir Shenandoah upiu santakoje, o dabar a¡ atejau pescias.Netrukus a¡ jau buvau AT Konferencijos patalpose. Visi darbuotojai esantys cia yra labai malonus ir draugi¡ki. U34siregistravau mil34ini¡koje knygoje po savo nuotrauka. Esu 385-tas hikeris ¡iemet pasiekes Harpers Ferry nuo pat Springerio kalno. Reikejo dabar susirasti nakvynes vieta kur galeciau priglausti savo pavargusi kuna. Dar ruo¡damasis kelionei, buvau padares ¢namu darbus¢ ¢ susiradau kelis variantus, nes senas ir apgriuves Hillop House vie¡butis, kuriame ¢06 nakvojau dar nebuvo atstatytas ir ne34inia kada bus. Taigi, pasirinkau Teahorse B&B hosteli ir neapsirikau ¢ jie bus mano ¢teisingi¢ namai ¡iam vakarui ir rytojaus ¢nulinei¢ dienai.---|---Only twenty miles to Harpers Ferry. At six o'clock, I was already on the trail. To make couple shots I just stopped at the Bears Den Rock. Lighted in the morning sun, valley has woken up and somewhere in the distance could be heard humming highway. My mood was on a high note.On the bridge over the Shenandoah River, I was encompassed with feelings of pride about myself: yes, this old Harpers Ferry is the psychological halfway in a long journey and I achieved it! In the distance on the horizon, huge storm clouds filled the sky, and here on the bridge the sun was shining, and I felt happy. Last time I was here in the year 2009 during our fall vacation with Rima. Then we came here to spend a couple of days, take a walk around this historic old town, standing in the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, and now I came here on foot.Soon I was at AT Conference building. All staff in here is very nice and friendly. Signed in the huge book under my photo. I am a 385-th hiker reached Harpers Ferry from the Springer Mountain. Now I had to find the place to cuddle my tired body to a soft bed ... Preparing for the journey, I was done "homework" - I found a few options, as old and dilapidated Hilltop House, in which I stayed in '06 has not yet been restored, and no one knows when it will be. So, I chose Teahorse B&B/hostel and was right ¢ this will be my "true" home for today¢s night and tomorrow¢s ¢zero¢.

 iandien - lengva ir puiki ¢nuline¢ diena Harpers Ferry miestelyje. Beveik visa ryta praleidau miesto centre, 34ioplinedamas tai ¡en tai ten, retkarciais pasistiprindamas gera ¢espresso¢ kava. Patinka man ¡is miestukas, turtingas savo istorija ir i¡puoseletas jos gyventoju.Kaip jau minejau prie¡ tai, 2009-tais spalio menesio prad34ioje a¡ ir Rima cia praleidome keleta dienu atostogaudami. Tada mes i¡vaik¡ciojome vos ne visa miesteli. Rudeni Harpers Ferry nera u34gultas turistu, taigi ka34kuria prasme visos istorines vietos buvo ¢musu¢.Vidurdieni oras pradejo kar¡teti, todel gri34au atgal i hosteli. Pakonsultavau jo ¡eimininke statybu klausimais ir ji atsidekodama nuve34e mane apsipirkti i Walmart¢a. Cha!

Prasideda mano Did34iosios Keliones antroji dalis.---|---Today - easy and perfect "zero" day in the Harpers Ferry. I spent almost the entire morning in the city, walking here and there, occasionally drinking good espresso coffee. I like this touristy town, rich in history and nurtured by its population.As I mentioned before, on October of the 2009, Rima and I spent a few days here vacationing. Then we have strolled nearly the entire city. In autumn Harpers Ferry is not stuffed with the tourists, so in that sense all the historical sites have been "ours".At noon, the weather began to heat up, so I went back to the hostel. Then I advised the owner on some construction issues, and that helped me to secure a trip for shopping at the Walmart. Ha! I did a great job by acquiring food for the next hiking phase, I would even say - too well - the backpack again overweight.To forestall future events to come, I would like to mention Peter Pen, residing in the hostel for a while. We both had a good conversation, and it has been fun and interesting to talk to him. He is volunteering at Appalachian Trail Conservancy headquarter for a month, and I¢ve met him on the trail two more times. The first ¢ at the Walmart, Gorham, NH (he offered me ride back to Hiker Paradise Hostel with resupply stuff) and the second time at the East Carry Pond, Maine. Tomorrow - Maryland State, and soon - Pennsylvania. The Great Trip Part Two beginning tomorrow.

I did not wait a long time, said good bye to the hostel host, and at six o'clock I was walking the sunny streets of the city. Felt that the day will be hot because the pathway on the bridge over the Potomac River was covered with the dew and today I am leaving the first footsteps on it.Today is Saturday, maybe because the trail is full of people. Just before Gathland State Park I met a couple of blind hikers. Yes, yes ... blind. It was Maurice Peret and Lou Ann Blake. I stopped and chatted briefly with them. You would have seen how their faces shone. What we look for granted, and of course, for others it is a life-long achievement. Therefore, it is necessary from time to time to stand before a mirror and look at ourselves ... with the eyes of others, and ask: maybe enough to whine?I walked seventeen miles to Dahlgren Campground campsite, and here for me was waiting a hot shower and a table loaded with meals. I learned about the feast from the beginning of the day: on the tree trunk was attached notice. Oh, I am lucky! Had a good conversation with bright young people. Three of them graduated from college this year and plans to go to work in Oregon, and girl¢s brother will finish highschool only next year...Anyway, that is all about a social day full of the humans. Tomorrow - Pennsylvania.
