Nobody said thru hikers were sane and we demonsrated that today. After a great morning and afternoon at Thunder's house, Thunder's dad drove us the one hour drive back to Pearisburg, VA to get back on the trail. We knew that the weather forecast didn't look good for the next couple of days and sure enough it was pouring down rain when we arrived at the trailhead. We waited in the truck for a few minutes in hopes that the rain would lighten up but it only seemed to get worse. Any sane person would have never have gotten out of the truck but thru hikers do not have the luxury to wait around for good weather. So we stepped out into the pouring rain knowing that our clothes would be wet for a couple of days. Thru hiking isn't always just shits and giggles.
