Cast of Characters

We are now in Virginia!

One fourth of the entire Trail is in Virginia.

Exciting. And kinda scary. But mostly exciting.

We haven't had as much reliable cell service as I thought we might have had passing through some of these trail towns, so this post is just a little fun one.

These are some of the trail names KitFox and I have met along our journey so far. Some started with us at Springer. Some are trail angels that greatly helped us. Some are hikers that have dropped out already. Some have passed us and continued north. And some we have just met recently.

The Trail has been an extraordinary place to meet and observe all kinds of various characters. Like people watching at the mall, but instead of walking through the food court, you're walking through the woods trying not to die.
