Onward into Virginia-500 miles plus

After a great 2 days in Damascus, Virginia and a stay at the new Woodchuck Hostel, Tom has taken off again. Below you see the hostel and Chuck, the owner, could not have been nicer. He was proud of his accommodations and the memory foam mattresses. That was a welcome treat!

Sunday breakfast , number two, before taking off again
                Mid morning Sunday after two breakfast meals, Tom took off for Lost Mountain Shelter.


Lost Mountain Shelter, Virginia mile    483

   He spent the next night at mile 500.5 Wise Shelter and should be at Trimpi Shelter this evening at mile marker 520.5.  It is unique and built entirely of stone with an inside fireplace. That will be very welcome as the nights continue to be cold.  Tom is hiking about 20 miles a day and is doing great.
