05-04-13 A Quarter of the Way Through Together

Had leftover pizza for breakfast then hit the trail. The trail had several treats for us today.

The first being the Settlers Museum. We got to explore an old farmstead and schoolhouse, both just right on the trail.

Secondly, the trail led us right to Atkins, Virginia and The Barn Restaurant. We had a "mystery" mail drop waiting for us from 213 Jay W. and John Hopkins. Thank you!

Back on the trail we hiked along the farmlands then back into the forest. We hit 546 miles--a quarter of the trail is behind us. Met up with friends at a campsite and tried fried Maurel mushrooms Yank and Blue Bonnet had scavenged in the woods.
