Tonight finds our adventurers at Bear's Den Hostel . 994.5 NoBo. The Stone lodge is ATC owned.Laundry, Showers, Lounge, Internet access. It looks like a great place to stay on the trail. I mean they have Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream available. What more can you want while in the woods? They hiked 13 miles today. A roller coaster day going up and down hills 10 times. Tomorrow they will say goodbye to Virginia and Hello to the 1000 mile mark. Sunday, after an awesome zero day, they headed back onto the trail amid thunderstorms. They have put another 22 miles behind them as of today.
Camping at the Bear's Den Hostel, by far the best hostel on the AT! We'll be out of VA tomorrow!! YAY!! FU VA!! I will not miss you, you are NOT flat!!!!! Damn roller coaster today! 10 hills, 13 miles - Who does that?
Sculler is the latest recruit. The whole team is now called 'Sno's Nuts and the Big Montana's'. That and 'Charlie and his Angels'. Depending on who you ask and who gets to answer first. It refers to Sno, the lone guy in the group other than our Canine pal Jordan, who has been keeping company with the girls, Hollywood, Coconut, and Sculler.
Sno caught up with them a while ago and Sculler has been with them through the past four towns since Waynesboro, Va. They will be heading into Pa and Sno's neck of the woods soon.
So goodbye Virginia, you are not flat, and you are very long, but the crew didn't get too much of the blues because of team comradeship.
Here are a few pictures of what they saw as they sat atop Bears Den Rocks.
A nice postcard of a moonlight painting of this beautiful area.
you get some great views from those hills - with occasional glimpses of the ribbon of the fabled Shenandoah River, which confluesces with the Potomac at Harper's Ferry. They cross both on big bridges - one for motorvehicles (Shenandoah), the other for trains (Potomac). Once across they are in Maryland, with 5 states in the books.
