Day 51 - Elk Garden, VA 600 to Wise Shelter
9.3 miles
Today we met the ponies of the Grayson Highlands. I have been looking forward to this for months (years?), having read about the Grayson Highlands and its herd of wild ponies in many of the trail stories I read to prepare for this trip.
The ponies did not disappoint but it was a hard day because of the lingering effects of my sickness this past weekend.
Coming out of Elk Garden we had high hopes for a 16 mile day but we ended up stopping early, at 3pm, at Wise Shelter so we could have a long late afternoon and evening rest.
The terrain and view at Grayson Highlands were beautiful, my mood and disposition, not so much.
Wise shelter is uninspiring but the light this evening was lovely. A school group, or maybe two, are camping here tonight.
