The last week has been mostly uphill… and our mileage has reflected it! We’ve had slower days, putting in fewer miles in this mountainous region of Virginia. But the scenery has been beautiful! We’ve done two days on the Blue Ridge Parkway (with a few days off in between), with more to come. It’s also slow because we want to stop at every scenic overlook and snap a picture! It turns out they really are ALL scenic!
At the beginning of the Parkway!
The first time we reached 3,000 feet... and we still had plenty of up and down to go!
Another beautiful vista...Another state done! Through Virginia and on into NC! (And now, when I'm posting this, we're past NC as well!)
We haven’t had many opportunities to access internet, or really much of anything. But the people are friendly and the views are awesome, so we push on.
We hope to make it to Nashville in about 10-11 days!

Blessings on your trip! It was wonderful to meet you on Sunday, Sept. 25 at Munsey Church and we were pleased to have you join us. I hope our exhuberance was not overwhelming! We have had several members hike the AT and we were glad to return the hospitality to strangers (but now friends)!
