Short post because not much happened but I promised I would do better to keep up with these.
The day we left Marion was probably our best town to woods reentry mission yet. We made 26 miles before stopping although we had to night hike for about an hour in complete darkness. The gorgeous sunset right as we came over a ridge into a valley was worth it though.
Our Israeli friend Bobcat and a new friend easy rider have been hiking with us for the past few days. Bobcat hiked a crazy amount of miles to catch up with us. I think it was almost 70 is 2.5 days. Unfortunately now he's got shin splints. We pulled into the town of Bland VA so he could go to the clinic. He got a couple of steroid shots but will be taking a few days off the trail. Luckily his parents were driving to his brothers graduation in new England any way and we're able to pick him up.
Anyway that's the reason we decided to stop here and after taking care of all of that it was late so we ended up staying. Next stop is pearisburg VA which is a pretty big town (at least as far as AT towns go.)
