Woke up early to beat the heat. That, and we were putting in a longer day to make it to the Loft Mountain Wayside for food.
Stopped for a very early lunch at Blackrock Hut, and a much needed water resupply. We were shocked at how fast we were going--the trail in the Shenandoahs is graded very nicely allowing us for higher mileage days.
We made it to the Wayside ahead of schedule and B stopped in the camp store for a small resupply.
At the Wayside we joined up with Danno, OB, Boo Boo, Bamboo, Morning Kid and Shaman. As recommended by our hiker friends we opted for a hamburger and fries. But the creme de le creme was the blackberry ice cream. The gal behind the counter had her own recipe for no additional charge--two generous scopes followed by vanilla soft serve.
Back on the trail, we tried to camp close to the spring but ended up further north. Enjoyed a small evening snack, hung the bear bag and drifted off to sleep.
