Starting location: Chesnut Knob Shelter
Ending location: Laurel Creek Campsite
Miles today: 14.8
Miles total: 576.6
We woke up to a cold morning. So cold in fact, it was extremely hard to get out of our sleeping bag. Kristen and I laid in our bags and spent the better part of an hour trying to convince the other to pack up our things. When it was all said and done, we were packed up and out of the shelter by 9am.
Today in the scheme of things was a pretty easy day. We have to be in Pearisburg, VA by Thursday afternoon where we have arrangements to go back to Damascus, VA for Trail Days. We are really excited to reunite with the many people that we have met while on the trail.
On a side note, toilet paper is often times an after thought in our everyday lifes but on the trail it is a hot commodity. It is so important in fact that Kristen will always steal some toilet paper from each hotel and restaurant we go to. Honestly, we would buy it but what is a hiker going to do with 6 rolls of toilet paper. I know I am not carrying it!
P.S. I am feeling much better now
