Day 1, Thursday, July 21, 2016

He is back on the trail. We drove to Waynesboro, Va from Bristol this morning and I dropped him off at the beginning of the Shenandoah park for a 15 mile hike. He will be in the park for the next 5-6 days as the trail is 105 miles in the park. It is off of Skyline Drive. He got started around 12:30 after his favorite lunch of Subway. It was hot and it was no fun having him back in the car for the 45 min drive back to the hotel. Being the wonderful wife I am, I'm helping him slack pack for a few days. Benefits,  he gets to get his trail legs over a few days, gets to sleep in a cool room in a soft bed, gets a shower, and clean clothes. The big news, he saw two bears at two different times on the trail today.
