Day 116 (October 17)

It was a short, 12 mile hike today. We left the shelter where we tented last night while it was still dark. I spent the afternoon rehabbing my sore leg. It seems to loosen up after I walk for a couple of miles, so I am happy to be able to keep hiking. Nice to have a son, Grahm, who can give me podiatric advice. Charlie, the vet, thought some deworming might help. Got some Tums. It was a beautiful day for hiking, and we got a great hitch into Bland, VA for a night at a motel. Back to the AT tomorrow. Take care.
