Miles total: 699.3
We had a great day of hiking with 80 degree temperatures and sunny skies. During the day we reached Dragons Tooth which is a awesome overlook of the ridges of Virginia. In Virginia the mountain ridges go for miles in what seems like a straight line. It is totally different than the rolling mountains that we experienced in Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The climb up to the Dragons Tooth rock formation was very difficult and it was the first time Kristen was bit uneasy. After watching Thunder climb the rock, she gathered up the courage and climbed to the top. It was certainly well worth the climb.
Upon reaching Catawba, Daytripper picked us up and drove us back to Thunder's house. Thunder's house is only about 5 minutes away from the trail. You may remember that we stayed at her house just a week earlier before Trail Days. The sad thing is, it took us 5 days to hike from Pearisburg, VA back to her house where it only took us an hour to drive. We are definitely living a slower paced life these days.
We had a great nights stay with cheeseburgers and some Wii. We will be back on the trail tomorrow.
