Day 102 - Into the Virginias (11/10/2016)

This is my last day of slack packing, so I decided to go for another big day. Papa Wallaby dropped me off in Harpers Ferry, WV (yep, another state done) and I headed north. The fog on the river created a stunning view as I crossed the bridge.

This was a tough 31 miles. Most of it was fine, but just as the light was waning I started hitting boulder fields that made walking slow. Fortunately I hit enough rock-free sections that I could run and make up time. I made it just in time to avoid night hiking.

Tomorrow I'll head back to Harpers Ferry and head south again with a full pack. Since WV is only 2.7 miles long, I'll get another state out of the way. I'll also register my walk with the official AT council, which has its headquarters there.

Start: Harpers Ferry, WV

End: Wolfville Rd (MD 17)

Distance: 30.9 miles
