434 miles and Counting

Mile marker 434 brings Tom to Vandeventer Shelter and surprisingly a wireless signal! This brings him within 30 miles of Damascus, Virginia which is known as the trail town of the Appalachian Trail. You have heard of trail magic along the trail,  yesterday Tom and other hikers came across the best trail magic ever. Dan and Rob from Ft. Mill, South Carolina were on a section hike and had just made peach cobbler in a Dutch oven. WOW! Can you imagine? Tom says they get the vote for best section hikers! The contraptions on the picnic table in front are GO PRO cameras on a mounting holder.
