Not a whole lot happened on the trail today. Had a nice walk through both a cow pasture and an obligatory rhodedendron forest. Did see some mountain laurel in bloom for the first time since the pond mountain wilderness. Resupplied in Atkins, VA. Caught a ride into town from Sparky's (retired atc from Arizona) brother.
Hilights from town included me eating a pint of Ben and jerry's fish food, a pint of milk, and a pound hiker burger from the Barn. Best burger I have had in a while! Also, Pedestrian pretty much was courted by an ex-exotic dancer. She tried to win him over with cold slaw from the restaurant at which she currently works. Sometimes weird things happen... after getting back in the safer woods, we made it to a really nice tent site at 548.5. Third consecutive day of having a camp fire.
