Happy Mothers Day! Jason and I are blessed to have two wonderful mothers who mean the world to us. We are sad that we can't be there to celebrate your special day, but we know you are both in goods hands. Without their support there is no way we would be out here making our dreams come true- Thank you

Some days the miles come easy, then there are days like these. This was written in our shelter log today and it was the truth. We went up and down all day long. We even did 20.0 miles today!

We have been hiking with Daytripper and Thunder for the past 2 weeks. We met Daytripper early in our trip, but we met Thunder more recently. Daytripper is "pink blazing" which basically means dating on the trail. Jason and I both enjoy the company and we have formed our own little group. Thunder hails from Roanake, VA which we will be passing by in a few hundred miles.

The shelter we are staying at tonight is fully enclosed- with a door! It's nice because tonight is going to be frigid! We sent home our winter bags but at least we still have our winter clothes! At least until Pearisburg!

A salamander we found on the trail. He looked exactly like a fishing lure.
