Paul Wolf shelter to Rockfish Gap

Stayed by the shelter last night. It's always interesting to see who shows up at night. A big group of younger folks. Trail names are pretty funny. One guys name was Silver Toe, because when he got blisters on his toe he wrapped them in duct tape. Another older guy(yep, even older than me!) named Bucketlist. He is a type 1 diabetic and has a pump and is managing it on the trail. Talk about determination and toughness. Inspirational. 

Got up early and had an easy coast in to Waynesboro. Really lush forest. Passed this cool old stone chimney out in the middle of the woods. Again, makes you wonder about the history of the people there before.

Got in to Waynesboro by 9:30. Staying at Stanimals hostel. (Former thru hiker) It's unusual in that it's in a nice residential neighborhood. I have the sun porch all to myself. No snorers. Ah! Did laundry, showered and went to eat. Caught up at home and then... Went to eat again. Burgers and beer. A common theme :) perhaps? Went to Heritage on Main with Trip and Turtur (Latin for turtle)

Live music with a very talented guy playing several guitars and banjos, but the real entertainment was these two cuties dancing around in their tutus.

Up early tomorrow and into the Shenandoahs. Land of blackberry milkshakes and bears I'm told. I am planning for a big week and a half of hiking. Hoping to be to Harpers Ferry by next Thursday or Friday. Wish me luck! We'll see how that goes.
