Daleville, VA - Stealth Site
Today was a super chill day. DQ and I slept in and were again the last ones out of bed, but we were on trail by 10am. Pretty early on we hit the sign for 1/3 of the way to Maine which felt really good!
We caught up to Sticks and Slobber pretty quickly and stopped for lunch at Full Knob shelter (lots of sex jokes were made) before chilling on the ridgeline for a while. Our original plan was to push 18 out of town, but after chatting with Sticks and Slobber we decided to follow their lead and planned to road walk on the parkway the following day. That meant we had to do fewer miles today so we took the afternoon really slow.
We stopped once more at the Wilson Creek shelter to catch up with Scout Master and talk to Mega and El Jefe (2 nice older dudes who do a lot of drugs…) We took lots of breaks since we were planning to stealth and hike a couple miles with 5ish liters of water pretty much all going uphill. We found a spot before Sticks and Slobber and decided I could sleep in DQ’s tent since there wasn’t much room for tenting. We ate dinner with Sticks and Slobber then retired to the tent to watch New Girl and talked for a while before going bed. Good and easy day back on trail.
