Pearisburg VA 7.4 miles
Total mileage 1555.5
I hike the remaining few miles into town and get to my hotel early morning. I get cleaned up and ready to see Jim tonight. He won’t arrive until 10pm. But I’m so excited and I know I won’t sleep until at all until he gets here.
I have dinner with CHOCOHOLIC. It is so great to catch her. Finely! But I learn that she has severe tendonitis in her tibia/ankle area and is going home to heal, officially ending her hike for this year.
I am thankful for all the wonderful people I have met along the trail and the time I was able to spend with them.
I’m sorry your friend Chocoholic had to get off the trail. 😦 I’m sure you are enjoying your weekend with Jim right now. Hope you have a nice visit and rest!

LBS, it was great to see you again. But how bittersweet! Right at the end my my hiking the AT for this year. But I’ll be back with pleasure when it’s the right time.
Meanwhile, fly like the wind, girl, but also continue to take good care of yourself. You have overcome so many fears and difficult situations. I’m in awe.
I will continue to eagerly read each of your blog posts.
