Today started with rain and ended with rain. I even had to cook in the rain! :b Other than the weather, today was really pretty. Passed through some hilly cow pastures with some benign but menacing looking bovines, across a good bit of streams, and ended with one of the longest climbs of recent. This chestnut ridge gained about 2100 feet in 4.25 miles. Not necessarily the worst grade, but parts were very steep for a long while. At least they felt like they were to me. I'm not exactly unbiased today as the pads of my feet ache. After passing chestnut knob shelter, (very nice but had what appeared to be a homeless resident) wound up tenting near walker gap (566.5). Trying to make it to pearisburg by Saturday.
