So, Mom is here in Central VA and not a second too soon. The hills of Virginia are taking their last shots on our weary feet. 3 straight days of 2000+ feet climbs. Today we climbed to the spire of the Empire State Building, twice. Hotels and real food are an impetus to keep pushing, but what will happen when it ends and its back to shelters and Ramens? Today we crossed the James River, Bluff Mountain, and wandered the woods where Natives once prospered. In a few days we will reach Rockfish Gap, the point where we have hiked to in the past from our local trailhead. It will be 300 miles of much easier terrain accompanied by tourists who are eager to trade picnic food for stories. This will mark our mental halfway mark, although the actual one is in PA. I'll give some pictures to start to create a visual image of the hike.
