Appalachian Trail - Update 5/13/08


I got an e-mail last night from my son and he reports that he has reached Pearisburg, Virginia, which is a tiny town west of Blacksburg, the home of Virginia Tech. At this point, he has covered some 624 miles on the Trail. He says that now that he is in Virginia he is seeing deer all the time which he finds nice, especially since he did not see many before in the states to the south of Virginia. He expects to reach Rockfish Gap of "The Waltons" fame in a bit over two weeks which is west, southwest of Charlottesville. From the tone of his message, he is continuing to have a wonderful adventure.
