Today's Hike:
Rockfish Gap to Camping (869.0) - 16.5 miles

When we woke up this morning in our cozy hotel room neither one of us were rushing to get back on the trail. I had a headache, and Muster hadn't slept well. She briefly suggested that we could stay another day if I thought I was getting sick. I told her I didn't need any encouragement. Two hours later we were packed and ready. We made a detour to the post office, and then headed for the trail. By 10:30am we had taken our first steps into Shenandoah National Park (SNP). For the next 104 miles we will be parallel to the Skyline Drive. Similar to the Smokies, SNP has a lot of backcountry regulations; however, we are not required to sleep in shelters. Therefore we're happy. The park also has waysides where we can by food like hamburgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, and cokes, which we're really excited about.

Tonight we're camping with Georgia's Girls about 16.5 miles into the park. The sky looks like rain, We're hoping it passes over :)
