Over 25 % complete and going strong!

Tom tells me he is feeling great and loving the Virginia terrain with pastures and rolling hills. He was able to enjoy a burger at The Barn Restaurant a few nights ago while near Groseclose, VA.  He continues to hike over 20 miles each day. Last evening he came upon another unique shelter, Chestnut Knob,  at mile 565 along the trail. The stonework and views make it one of the best ones so far. The geological  formation called God's Thumbprint can be seen from the shelter and it part of Burkes Garden area.
