Today is a slack packing day (Water and key essentials only)
with my dear friend Danny Seamster from Richmond. We hiked from Reed Gap (21 Miles outside of
Waynesboro) to the visitor’s center on the Blue Ridge Parkway (15 Trail
Miles). The hike was pleasant, great
weather, company and some wonderful views on top of Humpback Mountain. Due to some confusion with the trail signs
and the AWOL (David Miller’s AT Guide) we hiked past the past the turnoff by
approximate a mile and had to return, so we estimated we hiked a total of 17
for the day. Unfortunately, we will
have to hike that same mile for the third time in the morning to finish the
hike to Waynesboro (Rockfish Gap). After the hike the girls picked us up and we went to D&B brewer for dinner. That was where I saw my first bear of this trip, of course, it was stuffed on the wall of the brewery. I LOVE SLACK PACKING!!!!!
