I covered the eighteen trail miles pretty quickly. Even with the extra mile road walk, I was into Pearisburg by 2:30. As it turns out, I was about 90 minutes ahead of the downpour. Warm and dry in a motel room.
The grocery store and a Mexican restaurant are just across the street. First stop…carnitas and cerveza! Second stop…Food Lion for a six pack, soda, and deli food. Besides the Mexican entree, I ate a deli salad, Italian hoagie, and chicken nuggets.
The rain is supposed to continue through tomorrow. If it’s nasty when I get up, I’ll probably stay another day. If so, there’s a Chinese buffet by the grocery store and a Dairy Queen on the corner. I’ll probably hit both!
Nice plan! Stay warm, dry and well while the weather passes! The Trail will welcome you back soon enough and Keep on Truckin’ my friend, you are doing AWESOME! Have a great weekend you deserve every bit of it!!
