Some Pics

Right after we left the Partnership shelter (where we ordered pizza) and the Mt. Rogers National Recreation Area Headquarterswe came across this sign. This is Daddy-O posing. The trail crossed a forest rod right afterwards that was being wrked on. We were surprised that it needed a sign on the trail. We were able to hear the machines for the previous five minutes, and it is not like we are going so fast.



This is PeakAxe on a rainy day. At this point he did not have a light weight hiking shirt, so the day before he had hiked without his shirt and got badly burned on his arms. So this day he had two "sleeves" to cover his burned arms. Since it had been raining he had his pack cover on.





This is the church breakfast. On the left of the table are Respect and Applicator. On the right are Daddy-O and Shadow Cast. I left completely full and had the most amazing blackberry cobbler.








This is PeakAxe and Vagabond and our 9 empty peach cobbler cups at the Homeplace restaurant. For meat eaters it was amazing.








This is McAfee Knob, about the most photographed spot on the AT. This is between Catawba and Troutville. It is hard to tell, but this is Shadow, Rocko, Myself, Vagabond and PeakAxe. I am not sure about the order. We spent about an hour here on our "slackpack."
