Day 56

Left Bucannon, 15.1 additional miles to Cornelius Creek Shelter

Day 57

21.6 miles to Johns Hollow Shelter

Day 58

23.9 miles Cow Camp Gap Shelter. We had some rough climbs on this day. I caught my second and third mice with my mousetrap!

Day 59

24.6 miles to Harper's Creek. Summited the Preist, a massive mountain. This section of the trail is Paul's territory. He's from Richmond Virginia and has hiked this portion of the AT many a time.

Day 60 - 61

27 miles to Rockfish Gap. Paul's friend Maria picked us up and gave us refuge at her parents house. Her parents fed us a ton of food. It was amazing! Maria's boyfriend Michael, Paul's best friend, also joined the fun on Saturday. For lunch we hit up a bar that served this amazing beer that had a buttery popcorn aftertaste. Montechello or something like it. Very good. Later we watched the Twilight Zone movie (old school) ("Do you want to see something scary"?), and Last Action Hero. Arnold is amazing. "To be or not to be. Not to be." lol. And we relaxed in the hot tub. Good times.
