I hiked for two days with Antspants, Guac and Queso. Queso's dad was up from Texas on a business trip, and hiked up to the Preist Shelter with beer and snacks for all. Guac and Queso then went with Queso's dad to the Virginia Tech footall game in Blacksberg, and Antspants and I continued. There have been 15-20 people at shelters, including 7 SOBOS. Antspants and I have similar hiking paces and have gone 23 and 22 miles the last two days. Like me, Anyspants just graduated (finance degree) and could not find a job. He is from Maine.
When we got to Glascow, there is a bridge over the James River, and there was a large group of free spirited looking folks jumping off of the bridge. It was about 35 feet, so it was a good jump. Of course, Antspants and I had to partake. It has been hot, and the water felt great. It was fun watching the locals, they were doing flips/twists, and two of them even did sychronized flips. Antspants is a snowboarder, so he knew the names of many of the flips and twists they were doing.
The plan is to arrive in Troutville Wednesday, and update the blog then. Now it is off to the store for food, with chili dogs on an open fire planned for dinner tonight. Thanks for reading!
