Another night without Internet. Wtf? \ud83d\ude09 Actually I’m surprised this only happened now in Virginia, we seem to be closer to civilization here than in most of NC or TN. I can’t live without Interweb!!!
\nAnyway, we had a great day of weather for hiking. It was a mostly uneventful but really pleasant day. There were some neat cascades at Comer’s Creek. <\/p>\n

Cascades at Comer's Creek. Our guide said to not drink this water. I can only assume ponies frollick in it upstream?<\/p><\/div>\n

Most of the day was in the green canopy. Everything is getting so much greener every day.<\/p>\n

At one point we came out into a really idyllic meadow. Totally gave me some kind of nostalgia again. A different kind of trail magic for sure. <\/p>\n

We ended up hiking around 22.5 miles today. Most of the trail was much easier tread today than yesterday. Tomorrow we have a little over 12.5 miles to get to Atkins, where we plan to resupply with maildrop #5 and spend the night. <\/p>\n

Vital stats :<\/strong>

\nPhysical state – tired after a big day, but healthy
\nSmell – worst potpourri ever
