Trail Magic! It's been really great since we left the SNP. Back at the 522 crossing there were the Goldfish, and then a double dose today. The first was at Ashby Gap, the Route 50 crossing. I took some pictures of this one. Two coolers filled with sodas and then sitting on top was a small bag of bananas. The coolers must've just been filled, too, because the ice was nice 'n fresh, really cold sodas. So I stopped for a good 20 minutes. Had 2 bananas and 2 sodas. It was a blast. Then, later today, crossing Va. 605 there was a cooler with some banana bread or some similar baked good in it. At the time I was pretty full, as I had just recently taken a food break. But oh boy!
This hostel tonight is fabulous. It's an old stone house with a big stone wall around the property. I'm saving $6 tenting outside. Had some Phish Food Ben & Jerry's after setting up the tent. Called home to check in and arrange tomorrow's meeting. Took a shower (yeah!) and my clothes are in the dryer now. I'll grab 'em when I get up.
Along with some unknown people, Ganj and Grasshopper are here. Haven't seen Ganj since Erwin, so we had some catching up to do. I hope to see him before he's off in NJ, after my break.
