Dickey Gap to Pat Jenning’s Visitor Center 14.1 miles
Thank you Danny Seamster “Eeyore” for driving from Richmond to hike with me this morning. Great Fun! Weather was nice for a change. We got started this morning around 8:45 from Dickey’s Gap with a plan to reach VA 670 (S Fork Holston River) by 1:00. This was so Eeyore and Tracey (wife) could drive back to Richmond this evening for work tomorrow. Well we seriously miscalculated the time needed to walk this section. We arrived before 11:30 with no phone signal to let our wives know we were early so we took a long lunch. I got back on trail at 1:40 with 7.8 miles remaining. I finished strong at 4:15. Lisa was there to pick me up and shuttle a couple of hikers (Summit and AppleJack) to downtown Marion. Met several hikers today including three three families. It was a Good Day!
