Entering Virginia, May 13
There's no formal state line between TN and VA, but this sign is really close. It's good to be home.
J: Left early a.m. after lousy night's sleep in the burrito. Terrible mileage -- long journey to the state line. Jumped in soil and kissed sign. T.D. and I walked in to town.
Gearcheck - my old black walking shorts were OK, but nothing breathed quite like silk. Or dried. Or wore so lightly against the skin and didn't bind. Or weighed less. Silk boxers were the best hiking shorts, 'though I wasn't sure how long they'd last.
