Hello everyone,
We have successfully made it to Blacksburg in one piece, well basically. The first day I fell into some gravel and cut up my hand pretty bad. Almost a week later now, it is pretty much healed. In the first week we have seen a lot and have been seasoned. We've seen 100 degree weather, and we've seen 50 degree rainy and foggy weather. We've seen the Coastal Plain and Piedmont as well as the Blue Ridge. In fact, Leanna, Dustin and I loved the Blue Ridge Parkway we decided to climb an additional 12 miles.
But we are now in Blacksburg and set to head out tomorrow morning for Rural Retreat. I've been really impressed with my equipment. Everything has performed amazingly well, and I'm looking forward to testing it some more as we have about two months left on the trip.
Alright off to bed, I've got another 60 some miles tomorrow and will need the energy.
Chris
