Today was a 30 mile day, so hiking took up most of my time. Nonetheless, it was still an enjoyable day. There were a few spots where I was concerned about hydration, as it was a pretty warm afternoon.

What made the hike interesting was all of the weekend hikers: people day hiking and camping for the weekend. It was refreshing to see new faces and talk to locals. I even met some former thruhikers back to deliver trail magic!

It was very elaborate and well-prepared, and it gave me the extra burst of energy to hike the remaining miles. I’m looking forward to getting into Waynesboro tomorrow.
