They spent last night (June 9) in Front Royal, VA1, and will be staying there again tonight. I believe they're staying at a hostel, but I don't have the book right in front of me to check...

June 6
They hiked 25.9 miles south from Big Meadows2 to Hightop Hut3, and passed some trail magic at Lewis Mountain Campground. The shindig was hosted by some folks that wanted to pick the brains of passing hikers to help prepare for their own attempt at the trail in a few years. Dad and Ruth spent the night at/near Hightop Hut.
June 7
Again, they hiked south, making up the miles they'd hitched past on foggy June 4th. They hiked 7.6 miles from Hightop Hut to Loft Mountain4, and then hitched a ride back to Big Meadows2, and finally started a northern trek again, to Skyland Lodge5, an additional 9.0 miles.
June 8
They put in another 17.4 northbound miles, from Skyland Lodge to Gravel Springs Hut6 (with full packs and all, Ruth added). They tented near the shelter.
June 9
They carried their packs and gear from Gravel Springs Hut into Front Royal1, where they spent another night in civilization.
June 10
Today will be another slack-packing day. They've found a ride (actually a series of rides), from a trail alum named Mike (the grateful green peace guy). He dropped them off at Ashby Gap7, so that they could hike their way south back to Front Royal.

Met your Dad and Ruth today. Took some photos if you're interested. He was a wealth of info and helped me with my sore foot problems. Slept in my hammock next to their tent site at Gravel Springs Hut and bade them farewell in the morning.
I will follow them on their trek from my seat at home.
Thanks, Chris!
I'll let them know you said 'lo.
Good afternoon. You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new. Help me! It has to find sites on the: Video hosting web site. I found only this - web site design and hosting. Look at ipower web hosting if your web host doesn offer these features free by jeffrey adamsweb hosting companies, like the ones at ipower, are always looking for ways they can enhance their hosting packages, while still maintaining their very low costs. If you have been with a web hosting company for a long time you might be paying too much for features that you can get somewhere else for free. :o Thanks in advance. Milo from Africa.

Give please. The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible.
