This morning I ignored my alarm and figured I'd get another hour of sleep or so. Turns out I was pretty tired because instead I slept an extra 2 hours. When I woke, I could hear Blueberry Crisp breaking camp, but half expected to find Flatlander already gone. Happily, she was still there. We packed up camp and headed out.
The day was pretty uneventful. The long night's rest was good for me: walking felt fine. We'd settled on sleeping at a campsite with a view at around 20 miles.
In the end we not only landed at a campsite with a view, but we were welcomed with a pre-built fire and complimentary s'mores ! When we got there, there was already a group of day hikers hanging about with a fire. They were just there for the evening, but they told us to help ourselves to their s'mores supplies. Flatlander is a patient marshmallow roasting perfectionist. Not a bad Halloween.
Flatlander is talking about maybe pushing on ahead of us after Pearisburg. Negotiations are still ongoing.
Start: Eastern Continental Divide
End: Wind Gap viewpoint
