It rained last night, so this morning we awoke to raindrops and spiders all over our rainfly.
Saw the horses at the Skyland stables eating breakfast and later, wonderful views along Stony Man Cliffs.
We stopped for lunch at Byrds Nest #3 Hut and met the southbounder, Momo. She sold us on the Elkwallow Wayside so it became our eminent goal to hike 19 miles today before it closed at 7 p.m.
We hobbled into Elkwallow a little after 5:30 p.m. Each of us had a local bottle of beer--Devils Backbone--and a blackberry milkshake.
Set up our tent--and some spiders--on a gravel access road a short distance from the Elkwallow Wayside.
We've really enjoyed the Shenandoahs and all the amenities. It will be sad to leave as we've gotten a tad spoiled.
