Day 53 - Trimpi Shelter to Mt Rogers Visitor Center (Marion, VA)
10 miles
Experienced a wild thunderstorm last night at Trimpi shelter. Tenacious Bling was frightened.
Rain splashed into our tents during the night from the hard packed earth we were forced to camp on having arrived in the dark and without many options for better site selection. We slept-in this morning till 7:30 because our late arrival last night. The very wet ground and our dirty tents dampened our moods once we did get up.
We hiked to Marion today. Terrain mostly uninspiring but also fairly easy. While the kids hiked with their grandparents @toesalad and I had some hard talks about marriage, hiking, and life direction.
Arrived at Mt Rogers Visitor Center just after 2pm and met up with YWAM again! We took the Marion Transit bus shuttle into town and paid .50 per person.
We checked into the Travel Inn Motel and went to Yummy Yummy Japanese Restaurant to celebrate Padawan's birthday, she's 15 today. We got a cab to take us back to the motel. It feels strange to be in a civilization as a family without a vehicle.
