June 27- Johns Spring Shelter to Daleville, VA (mile 704.7 to 723.5)

Today we made it to McAfee Knob, which is the most photographed spot on the AT.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A trail Angel gave us sodas and pointed out where we would be hiking the rest of the day from the knob. We hiked Tinker Cliffs, which were literally parts of the trail on the edge of a cliff. Will kept walking on the very edge, jumping gaps from rock to rock. I pretended to be his mother and said, 'Don't fall! Stop doing that, you're going to fall!'
 

We wanted to make it in to town in time for BBQ, but we were very tired. Luckily, the restaurant was open until 9:30! Since we were hikers, we got free banana pudding. Yumm!
