4/25/2018 – Day 47

Woods Hole Hostel to Pearisburg, VA - 10.6 miles Slept in past 6:30am, but still up before 7am! Had an amazing home cooked breakfast by Neville at Woods Hole and found out my mom paid for my stay at the hostel! The hike this morning was a steady grade with hardly any steep up hills, … Continue reading 4/25/2018 – Day 47 →

4/24/2018 – Day 46

Wapiti Shelter to Woods Hole Hostel I woke up a bit later than I wanted to, but it was raining fairly hard at 6 and did not stop until almost 6:30am. Once the rain stopped, it did not take long for the usual early risers to start moving. All of our feet took some time … Continue reading 4/24/2018 – Day 46 →

4/23/2018 – Day 45

Laurel Creek Campsite to Wapiti Shelter - 33.3 miles A few milestones today. It’s my birthday, I reached 600 miles, and I set a personal record of miles hiked in one day! I don’t even care that it rained the second half of the day. I woke up at 5am. 2-Clicks, Grant, and Gramps were … Continue reading 4/23/2018 – Day 45 →

4/22/2018 – Day 44

Lynn Camp Creek to Laurel Creek Campsite - 23.1 miles Today was probably the quickest I have had to strip down to just my base layer. It was cloudy all day, but warm and humid enough to sweat. Started with an 8ish mile climb up to Chesnut Knob Shelter. I made surprising good time without … Continue reading 4/22/2018 – Day 44 →

4/21/2018 – Day 43

Chatfield Shelter to Lynn Camp Creek Campsite - 20.7 miles Today might have been the most scenic hike yet. Beautiful, sunny weather, grassy fields through farmlands, alpacas and cows. Started with an easy 5 miles into Atkins for breakfast at The Barn. Not a lot of tables for as big of a place that it … Continue reading 4/21/2018 – Day 43 →

4/20/2018 – Day 42

Trimpi Shelter to Chatfield Memorial Shelter - 16.8 miles A fairly steady up and down for 9ish miles this morning to get to the visitor’s center. Made it just before 11am. We ended up deciding to go into town (50 cent shuttle) to Marion to resupply and ended up eating a huge meal at a … Continue reading 4/20/2018 – Day 42 →

4/19/2018 – Day 41

Wise Shelter to Trimpi Shelter - 20.1 miles Once again, 2-Clicks was the 1st to leave closely followed by me. I ended up hiking a large portion of the day with 2-Clicks and then Homebound and Flash when they caught up to us. Ran into Eskimo for the 1st time in a while at Old … Continue reading 4/19/2018 – Day 41 →

4/18/2018 – Day 40

Lost Mountain Shelter to Wise Shelter - 17.5 miles Did most of the beginning of my hike alone. All the uphill parts in the beginning. It was surprisingly warm this morning and a bit humid. Played my trombone some at Buzzard Rock to a beautiful view. At Elk Garden, I finally caught up to 2-Clicks … Continue reading 4/18/2018 – Day 40 →

4/17/2018 – Day 39

Damascus, VA to Lost Mountain Shelter - 16.2 miles I was the one of the only ones awake by 7 am at the church. I decided to get breakfast at Mojo’s. Why not splurge since I won’t be back for Trail Day’s. Rachael and Braden walked in as I was leaving around 9 am. Grant … Continue reading 4/17/2018 – Day 39 →

4/15 – 4/16/2018 – Day 37-38

Damascus, VA - 2 zeros One zero day turned into 2 zero days. It did in fact rain all day on the 15th and the weather for the 16th was forecasted to be even more cold and snowing (which it did – even in town). Also, Grant and Graham got into Damascus on the 15th … Continue reading 4/15 – 4/16/2018 – Day 37-38 →
