Hello everyone from Bland, VA, where the name of the town is also its best adjective. Well, at least they have a library with computers....and a supermarket.
As it is raining, and one of the members of my new party is sick, we've decided to take a zero day. We figure it will help digest all the Dairy Queen we ate last night (mmm...blizzard).
Speaking of food, I just had a fantastic meal from yet another generous church. The Methodists, who were conspicuously quiet during Trail Days, are giving the Baptists a run for their money with their all-you-can-eat breakfast, including french toast, potato casserole, sausage, oj, coffee biscuits, and a little good bag with moon pies and granola bars. It was spectacular. The Baptists are still in the lead, however, in this winner-take-all hiker help-out, but with more strong efforts like these, the Methodists can easily pull ahead.
So for the last few days I've been hiking with 3 other guys: Waffle, Tea-bag (an unfortunate trail-name) and Just Mike (an Aussie). We've been pulling out the big guns lately, never dropping below a 15 mile day, with a 22 mile hike into town last night. So we're moving right along.
The next big town is Pearisburg, where I'm sure you'll hear from me yet again!

Glad you've got some new buds. You are really movin'!
Tea-bag? How do you even get that name in the first place? (note: I don't want to know. Shut up.)
My God though, I think you're eating better than most of us are. Are you going to manage to come back here fatter than when you left? :)
(Also, for your NBA update, Celtics are up 3-2 and Lakers are up 3-1)
I sit in my cube and eat my oatmeal and wish you the best! (And scheme on how to switch places...)

moon pie.... what a time to be alive
I guess I have to regretfully abandom my statements about the pistons winning, because they didn't. But I strongly stand by my statement that Sam Cassell is a martian sent here from another planet, who just so happens to have above-average athletic ability.
