Where are Nest and crew?

Nest, Pearl and Train Wreck were in Pearisburg on Friday.

Nest and crew left Piersburg on Friday. They are just soaking up the adventure, seeing and doing everything they can.

I read Shiloh's journal last night. He is really putting on the miles, but it does seem like he is enjoying himself. Have you gotten to meet up with him since GSMNP? Not sure if I read you were meeting him or planning to meet him.

Tell him we're all thinking about him and wishing him the best.

Cannibal & Genuine Draft were going go to Hard Core (the work project) and then yellowblaze up to Pearisburg to catch Yazzie. However, they never actually showed up for the work. Cannibal's brother was in town and was going to drive them, but the directions sheet they were given was pretty confusing; so I'd assume they got lost, said "screw it" and went on to Pearisburg. Of course, they were in possession of a case and a half of Yuengling when last seen, so ...

Anyway, while in Damascus, Cannibal entered an eating contest, and he told me ya'll would get a kick out of the pics. I was going to start a new thread or put them in the gallery, but the forum wouldn't let me, so I'll post the link here and hope they get seen.

Funny story. The great thing about camping with a group of northbounders at trail days, was they gave me all the extra beverages since they couldn't pack them out. Currently sipping on one of the Yuengling now.

Does that count as a Yogi if you're not on the trail?

We lost my father-in-law this past weekend, so Nest hitched a ride to the Greyhound station in 'Roanoke and came in for the funeral. Both of our kids in the Army (daughter in DC, son in Killeen, TX) were also able to make it in. Very conforting having them all here.

Nest caught a ride with a co-worker of mine that was heading to Wytheville, VA today, and will try to catch rides back to Daleville area. it was great to have all three home at once, and made the circumstances more bearable.

Any word on Shiloh or Cannibal? Not sure where either of them are.

Sorry to hear about your loss, Lost. I know it was a great comfort to have all your kids back home even considering the circumstances.

Thanks, everyone. It's been a tough week, but having the kids here, playing travel agent and taxi driver helped a lot.

Nest was able to hitch a ride from Wythsville this morning and should be in Glasgow tonight. So Cannibal, get things ready for that aqua blaze since you're already in Waynesboro. That is going to be a blast!

Sorry to hear that Genuine Draft had to come off the trail. I got a message from her when I finally got on line yesterday.

Have fun and keep us posted as we cyber hike with you!

Thanks, Peanuts, I appreciate it. It's wonderful that he lived to 92 years of age and planted and maintained his garden this time last year! He will be missed.
