Oct 8 – Into Charlottesvile

October 8, 2011 by Beardoh

Day started with a beautiful sunrise. We were camped on the eastern slope which gave us some nice colors this morning.

Hiked down from Loft Mountain and had some pretty flat and downsloping walking for the day. Saw lots of day hikers out on the trails as it is a Saturday and a holiday weekend.

Did 10 miles by a bit after 11am, and hung out in a parking lot where we planned to meet our friends, Matt, Phyllis and their kids. Mace hung out with us for awhile and then continued on his walk for the day. Should be able to catch back up to him in a couple days and continue to hike with him.

Matt and Phyllis arrived as planned and we hopped in the car with their family and headed to town. Got some food and hung out in a park, then onto the hotel for clean up and laundry. In the evening, they took us out for South African food that was delicious. Great day!

Daily Distance: 10.4
Trip Distance: 1,307.0
