hey guys, we've made it to waynesboro. Dans parents were originally gonna meet us here Friday but they're awsome guessed we might make it here early and decided to get here today. They were right, we decided to push it and get here a little early. We thought we were gonna have stay at a hostel so this is great.

sorry about that last post. someone had an appointment for the computer in pearisburg so i got kicked off. Lets see, we've met a lot of people but haven't been hikin with anyone else on a consistent basis really. Two guys we did hike with for a few days, Spoon and Hazard, have a much better blog if you wanna check that out. The website is www.mountainsunderfoot.com. They are really cool guys. Check it out if u wanna see what a real AT blog is like.

So we're at about 850 miles here in Waynesboro. Not too shabby. Our beards have grown and we look pretty homeless. Some guy tried to give us 10 bucks when were sitting outside rite-aid today lol. We couldn't take it but it was pretty funny.

We've gotten showers, food, and have a real bed waiting for us here at the Best Western. FACT: the mattress = the greatest invention of all time. Since we here a little early we're gonna be takin a couple days off. Get some good food, rest, and maybe even see a movie. Then its back to the trail Sunday morning or maybe even Saturday night. We'll have to see. Its pretty late though so I'm shuttin' her down. Maybe I'll post a little more tomorrow if I remember some funny stories or somethin. Take care

Hey guys, I'm posting from Pearisburg, VA. We got into town this morning and we're just relaxing a little before taking off again for the next shelter. I was gonna post in Damascus, but the library was closed by the time we got there Saturday and it was closed all Sunday so no luck. Sorry about that. I know Cheryl Farrell was a little upset.
We got the word that a buddy of ours (who will remain nameless) has called us slackers because he thought we only did 26 miles in 4 days. First of all... shove it. Secondly, you cant just look at the map, scale it out and think you know how far we've gone. The spot only shows where we end up, not where we actually walked. Since the trail is not too straight, it could look like we did 25 when we did 80. Crap gotta go, my time ran up... sorry . later guys. take care
