Day 57 - Abundant Raspberries, AT Speed Record

July 11 - Manassas Gap Shelter to Sam Moore Shelter - 19.8 miles

Spent at least 45 minutes today picking raspberries, right along the trail. Was at least 3/4 of a lb. So many raspberries!


Entered the roller coaster today. It's a 15 mile stretch of some fairly steep climbs (about 1/2 mile per climb). The Party Train loves roller coasters.

Met the support crew for Jennifer Davis (from NC) who is attempting to break the overall assisted speed record (47 days). She holds the woman's 2008 record. Found out that David Horton is a member of the support crew. I thought I had heard his name before in the ultra community and upon googling him I found out he's pretty legit. Check out his movie here - Extreme UltraRunner David Horton.


First Mountain House Dinner - Teriyaki chicken with rice. I really enjoyed it.
