Had a fantastic trail magic experience today. After 12 miles of hiking we were all pretty exhausted, tired, fatigued and just ready to be done for the day though we still had 10 miles to go. We hit a road and began our attempt to hitch in to Catawaba. The 2nd car picked us up, gave us a ride to a Subway/BP combo, waited for us to get a footlong and some cold drinks and then gave us a ride right back to the trail head. Sweet deal. Oh and a lady packed out our trash for us.
Met simmer-on today. He is 88 years old and is attempting to become the oldest thru-hiker by 10 years. I took his picture on McAfee Knob, what many consider the best location to view Virginia. It was worth my time to enjoy a Little Debbie Starcrunch.
Simmer-on also told us the name for his book once he finishes the A.T. but that I will not divulge to the public.
Played hiker-tetris in the shelter last night. My guide says it sleeps 6, we threw in 10. That was fun...
