day 2 90 miles charlottesville va.

glad we dont live here
This day started out real nice, cool and sunny. I realized that if i am going to conquer this first mountain range tomorrow i am going to have to lose some weight (gear). I decided to stop by a post office and mail home the sleeping bag and stove. While i was preparing to enter the post office a fairly well dressed person asked me where i was going. I gave him the short version about Domenic and raising money for great strides. This guy was so impressed he called the local newspaper and arranged to have a reporter come down for an interview. Every one please check The Central Virginian.com for this article. Time to hit the hay. long day tomorrow.

  1. So what's the idea with keeping the tent - isn't that fairly heavy as well? Inquiring minds want to know.

  2. the tent is not nearly as heavy as the sleeping bag and not nearly as bulky. I would like to camp at some point. The tent i will keep. the bag can go.

    If you find the link to the article (I couldn't find it, their website was acting a little funny), you can let us all know by writing something like "You can read the article here!" and then do something like highlight "here" and click the little button that looks like the link of a chain and a little box should pop up where you can paste the website. :)
