I spent the morning in Marion, VA, eating fast food and buying my food supply. I had 2 McDonalds bacon, egg, and cheese McMuffins, a small orange juice, and a large coffee at 9:30. I then went to Ingles grocery to stock up on food for the next three days. I then went back and ate a double cheeseburger and a chocolate milk shake at 10:30. I bought a quarter pounder and a double cheeseburger for the road. I found out that my eyes were bigger than my stomach. I was not hungry all day until dinner time. I ate the quarter pounder so I still have a double cheeseburger left over. That will be my lunch for tomorrow.
I'm in a cheap hotel in Atkins, VA, where I had a very low pressure shower and did laundry. Boy, was I stinky. Tomorrow, I'll eat a real breakfast of bacon and eggs. My usual trail breakfast is poptarts and an oatmeal pie. A real breakfast will be a treat.
Is summer here yet?

Dad (Curtis) and daughter (Laura) have talked about through-hiking the Appalachian Trail for years. We began the journey on March 27, 2013. Dad is still on the trail. Daughter hiked through GA and racked up over 100 miles.
I love your normal breakfast :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I wonder if our VA cousins will cook you up a nice steak while you're in walking distance! Can you believe you're in VIRGINIA! Amazing.
