Yesterday was slow. Today was not. I was making really good time
today and was flipflopping with Moonpie, Doozy, and Camp Chair all day.
I got to Trimpi shelter by late lunch time. At that point I decided
to continue on to Partnership shelter, which will make tomorrow out to
town relatively easy. Trimpi shelter was really nice. It is only a 6
person shelter, but is a stone shelter with the middle open. There is
a fireplace in the center of the back wall. After an hour and a half
lunch, I got going again.
The trail climbed the ridge and it ran adjacent to Virginia farmland.
After a bit, Athos flew past me. We got to the Partnership shelter.
It is at the campgrounds, and the shelter is huge. Unfortunately the
attached shower is turned off. I am here with Moonpie, Doozy, Camp
Chair, Athos, and Ken (who showed up late).
The hike today tore up my feet for the first time this trip. I am not
sure what was different about today.
The trees are starting to bloom and the wildflowers are coming out.
Spring is here!
