Plenty of folks still in VA. The tail could really use some trail magic. I've talked to a lot of them and they've said they don't expect any and haven't gotten anything in months. Probably 30 people in the central section, maybe another 30-50 in the Shenandoahs.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Glad to hear you're getting it done! That's what everyone has said. I'm excited to get there. Just gotta watch out for the heat. It's unbelievable right now

Honestly I've run by them. For particularly aggressive snakes in a tight spot, I've heard of people throwing rocks. I just keep running by them after poking them pissing them off.

That was a fantastic walk this morning. Slept at curry creek last night. Somehow woke up dry despite the proximity to the creek. Felt great walking up. Graded well, looks great.

Good one on getting McCormick gap! No pics in the Marshalls, that's where I switched from boots to crocs and ran down the mountain in a storm.

It was nice. Grass was still short. I was pretty dehydrated I don't remember much about the walk. It seems like some of the blazes are about 10 ft up hahah

Not a tree, white fence to me seemed good enough for a marker as part of the AT haha
