Zoomed into Front Royal, Virginia early this morning based on two parts excitement, one part hunger.
We got dropped off at the town park and took a small side trail to the back of K-Mart. From there we were able to achieve all our errands--resupply at Martin's Grocery and wifi at Burger King.
Three hours later we were back on the trail. This section of the Appalachian Trail was the western boundary of Confederate Colonel John Mosby base of operations.
We enjoyed the Adarondack chairs at the Jim & Molly Denton Shelter and reunited with Bamboo and Morning Kid!
Five miles later at the Manassas Gap Shelter we setup camp for the night. Struggled with the bear pole--the pole is ridiculously heavy, and actually ended up dropping it. Thankfully it's tethered to the stake so I didn't kill myself.
Had a rousing campfire discussion about ticks; pretty much gave each other the hibbie-jibbies. Ended the day by finding a tick on the inside of the tent, tweezing it, then torching it.
