Our first ZERO day. Mom and Dad came in to meet us and the plan was originally to set out for the Trail in the afternoon, but after some discussion at DQ and looking at the pouring rains, we decided to zero. It's great to see both of my parents, especially my mom... haven't seen her since Springer. Sarah wrote us a sweet letter and Brittany Stetson baked us a loaf of delicious challah! I can hear the thunder as I write this in a nice, warm, comfy bed – dry. I am thankful and glad we are here now.

I just couldn't see you and Anna hiking in that torrential down pour. I am thankful for that wonderful time together in Pearisburg.
