5/12 – 422 miles
The weather is still nice. We hiked five miles and then took a side trail into Hampton, TN, where we resupplied at a Dollar General. Dollar Generals have everything a backpacker needs – a lot of junk food. It is almost impossable to eat healthy out here. We crave sweet things like ice cream and candy bars and greasy food like burgers and pizza.
We hitchhiked in and out of town with no problems. I’m getting pretty good at hitching now. It used to make me uncomfortable but people that live close to the trail are used to hikers going to town and help them out a lot.
I am in Damascus, VA, for trail days right now. My phone is having a hard time charging so I will update some more later. Everything is going good and my leg is a lot better.
My leg started hurting from sympathy pains. So glad you finally were able to post and that you are still hiking. I sure do hope your leg improves. Maybe a few days rest is in order.
Glad you were able to post! Take care of those legs. Hope trail days were fun. Love you!
Thanks for posting. I think of you often, with love.
