Pearisburg, VA, I made it this far. I'm back in the land of biscuits and sweet tea and this beautiful accent. I'm cold at night and sometimes during the day when the clouds are out. And the fallen leaves hide rocks and cause me to slip backwards and make the trail hard to find at times. But I see ridges upon ridges in perfect parallels to each other, maroon in the evening light or more like indigo in the morning light, and I know I'm in beautiful country, and it's all worth it. It's just the climbing out of my sleeping bag in the morning that's hard!
