• Camping at Tye River Parking 832.1

    Still no tropical thunderstorm, just a slight breeze :) Third day in a row making more than 22 miles, it looks good with making it to Harper's Ferry. But first we need to make it to Waynesboro for resupply which is planned for the day after tomorrow.

    Today we went up to "The Priest" to confess our trail sins. Of course there wasn't much to confess ;) But it's one of the trail traditions so we wrote those confessions to the Shelter Log. We were quite tired all day so it was surprising that we had the energy to make it so far today. I think I had my first tick today although I'm not sure. Luckily I saw it while it was crawling on my hand.
    There was a super long (5ish) downhill from the Priest that we did in an night hike. But we had the same issue as always, as soon as we are tired there are no campsites anywhere to be found. So we added additional two miles until we found the cosy spot next to the parked cars :D
