June 29- Daleville, VA to Wilson Creek Shelter (mile 723.5 to 734.7)

We didn't leave for the trail very early. After Penny dropped us off at the trail to drive home, we decided to go to Wendy's for lunch before heading out. When food is an option, it is the ONLY option!

We hiked 11 miles on Rachel's first day, a great deal for her first day with a full 37 pound pack! At one point we had to cross a fence using a stile. We have seen a few different kinds.

 

 

 That night it rained and the water was blowing in on us, even though we were sleeping at the back of the shelter. We hung our tarps up across the open front to try to keep the rain out.
