Day 29 of AT in VA NOBO
3月26日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 50 °F
Stealth campsite (596.5) to Weary Feet Hostel/Rt 606 (610.5)
Total Miles: 14.0

Was hoping to breakdown camp and get going by 8:30am before the forecasted rain started. Mission accomplished.

After doing almost 21 miles yesterday, I was looking a bit of a lighter day today (15 miles) and was happy that I did as the rain started in earnest at noon, and continued the rest of the day and night. And temps never got above 42.

A few miles in, I came across the 600 mile marker on the trail (both in stones and in sticks). Hikers usually get pretty creative with these milestones.

Saw Trawler and his wife Tender again (they were slack-packing south, so we crossed). They are very nice and took a picture of me the other day for that day’s journal entry. Trawler’s journal is on: trailjournal/Trawler2024

A few of the hikers I saw were looking to stay at Weary Feet Hostel (610.0 mark) based on being cold & wet, and the stellar reputation of its owner (Julie Sloop). It didn’t take much to get me to join the crowd out of the storm.

The last minute of trekking for the day was crossing a 100 foot long suspension bridge that swayed left and right with each step. (See video).

The hostel is a 1906 Victorian home on 82 acres. The hot water for the shower was HOT, the Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes & greens beans for dinner were HOT, and the chocolate cake was AMAZING.

Great hospitality & lodging for the 4 of us: Upsilon, his dog Zet, Nomad (from Mobile, AL) and St. Bernard (from South Africa).もっと詳しく

Day 28 of AT in VA NOBO
3月25日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F
VA Route 623 (576.0) to
Stealth campsite (596.5)
Total Miles: 20.5

My first 20+ mile day!Beautiful weather and the deer were out & about and plentiful.

The green tunnels of rhododendrons are starting to take shape as each day passes. The mountain laurel that are found at even higher elevations than rhody’s will begin blooming in 2-3 weeks.

Spent the middle part of the day ridge running, with Bland, VA discernible in the distance for a good part of it. One of the benefits of the trees not having leaves on them yet.

It’s always fun when the trail runs under or over an interstate highway. Today, we went over over I-77, which goes North/South from Columbia, SC to Cleveland, OH.

Set up camp at a stealth tenting site at the top of a ridge at 6pm. Was very windy and cold (low 40’s), but was able to get my tent up and food cooked. Had a nice night alone in the woods!もっと詳しく

Day 30 of AT in VA NOBO
3月27日, アメリカ
Weary Feet Hostel/Rt 606 (610.5) to Sugar Run Rd. campsite (625.8)
Total miles: 15.3

Started north with Nomad and St. Bernard this morning at 8:30am. After heavy rains last night, and fog early this am, skies cleared quickly and it warmed up to 55 by midday.

Met Spam & Lift, a husband and wife team from Wash DC, who are thru-hiking north. We had heard about each other from Trawler & Tender. All of us cross paths for the most part as we are still ahead of the big bubble of hikers still to come up trail. Hikers/shuttle drivers/hostel owners all communicate to each other who’s where and doing what distances.

After trekking uphill most of the day, got to campsite at 6pm. Set up tent and ate dinner in warm’ish and dry weather for a change.もっと詳しく
