I’m currently updating my blog from The Shenandoah National Park. Once again I got behind on the blog, the terrain has gotten slightly easier so I’ve been pushing longer mileage days, around 20 miles a day or so. After leaving Daleville we set off to hike along the Skyline Drive continuing to head north through Virginia. During this stretch we hit the 1/3 way sign to Mount Katahdin!
We made our way to Glasgow, Virginia where we stayed at the Stanimal’s hostel for two nights and did a short slack pack to give the feet a bit of a rest. While staying there I received a box my mom had sent with some lighter gear that I was able to swap out and save a little bit of weight, the heavier stuff got sent north towards Maine where it might be a little colder once I get up there. I was also beyond shocked to receive a bunch of birthday cards! My mom sent out the address where I was staying to a bunch of friends and family, thank you! 🥳🎉
After leaving the hostel in Glasgow, Virginia, I was able to time it just right so I was at Devil’s Backbone Brewery for my 40th birthday and was able to grab a hot dinner and a few beers! We then made our way to Waynesboro where we stayed with some awesome supporters.
Our stay in Waynesboro was short, but amazing! We were spoiled by our supporters. John and I both received a birthday cake which had our pictures lasered on it! We were spoiled with gourmet meals, and we were also taken out to an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet by Fred who lives in the area and has been connected with Warrior Expeditions for years 🙂 I also received a few more birthday cards that got sent to waynesboro, thank you again for everyone who sent me one! I left Waynesboro and made my way North to Shenandoah National park. Signing off for now, Feather Blue 🪶💙
