Journey Day 215 | AT Day 38

Storm clouds gathered as we hiked on through Virginia.

4/28/86

Up from shelter, push up hot walk through the woods, break at a spring-fed pond with hiking partners. Laze in sun, on up to Rock Hut. Another long break from the hot sun. Down to Walker Gap, then up along hot, rocky ridge overlooking Burkes Garden. Endless walk finally ends at forest road. Meet McPhersons. Push on to shelter, exhausted. Rain hits. Huddle in shelter, crash in the heat.
