Long day. First solo day doing over 20 miles and I think is the day I’ve done with the most climb, at a hair over 6k feet. Was very weak by the end of it.

The northern kids left me a note in a logbook saying that they missed me, which was nice.

Had to ford this creek

Then do a huge climb to Chestnut knob, which was brutal in wet socks but it is a real pretty spot.

Tesco and Postit and like 4 other people are here. Shelter is full. I’m sleeping outside.

Also saw some weird stuff

I really should do another 20 mile day tomorrow to make sure I get to pearisburg at a reasonable pace but iunno how I will feel tomorrow.
