Last day in SNP today. Our daily average through the park (over 4 days) is 27 miles a day. We hit 88 miles in 3 days, which is 29.27 average. The terrain allowed us to hit these big miles but damn, that was still tough on the feet.
Randall Fields told us about the most dangerous thing in SNP. It's not the bears, rattlesnakes or bucks but the Blackberry milkshake. The calories will kill ya. hah We stopped in at Elkwallow wayside to get one.
About 7 miles before the end of the day mother nature decides to flood our trail for a good 2-3 solid hours (4 hours of rain but heavy rain for 2). The trail was 4, 5 even 7 inches deep! It did feel nice on the tired feet though.
We met up with Jedi and Chef, who hiked the last portion of the trail with us. They are both outstanding individuals and were a pleasure to hike with. They rode with us into Front Royal.
