Do I wait out the rain? Last time this happened the rain outlasted me and I had to pack up in the rain. Ugh!
But as I contemplated my situation the rain stopped. I hurriedly packed my things. There was a brisk cold wind which was drying my tent. Luck is on my side and I was able to pack up a reasonably dry tent as well. It was still promising rain so I donned the rain jacket and took off.
Rain recommenced shortly thereafter but only for about an hour.
It’s cold and my hands are getting numb. The gloves are carefully packed at the bottom of my pack so I’m not stopping to unpack them.
Along the way
I cross the Tennessee/Virginia state line. I have completed Tennessee.
And then...
Found my way to Crazy Larry’s hostel.
Crazy Larry
Got a bunk, took a shower, talked with Deirdra on the phone and then went in search of food at the Damascus Diner.
Damascus is a small town. The Main Street is about two or three blocks long.
This section hike is now complete. I am here a day early. My flight home is on Friday morning out of Tri Cities airport so I have time to explore. Need to arrange a shuttle to the airport.
Trail Days starts on Friday but I am anxious to get home.
