Day 94 (September 26)

We left the motel in Front Royal, PA at 6:40 a.m. and walked a half mile to where we could hitch a ride back to the trail. The second car by stopped. Amazing: the driver took us right to the trail head and we were hiking by 7:20 a.m. We entered the Shenandoah National Park about three miles into the hike. You have to register before entering. The AT runs for 110 miles through the park. It is very beautiful and well maintained, especially the trails. Spectacular vistas similar to New Hampshire and Maine, but not as tough to get to. We made 22 miles today and are stealth camping along the trail tonight. Take care.
