Miles today: 9.2
Total miles: 589.2
A shortened day; had to run into town for resupply. Hiked a quick 7 miles to a road and got a ride into Bland, VA, an adequate trail town. Picked up my warm-weather sleeping bag from the post office (a welcome backpack-lightening measure), had lunch with some fellow hikers, bought a few days worth of groceries, and headed out. Couldn't get a ride back to the trail so I hoofed it but that was only about 3 miles extra. Got to the shelter at about 5pm so decided to call it a day.
Another big group at the shelter tonight.
Staying at Helveys Mill shelter.
