Fri 12 Nov - Va 613 Mtn. Lake to Va 630 Sinking Creek

Beautiful hiking today and hopefully it will continue through the weekend.  Clear, high in upper 60s, no breeze.

It is hunting season so we are now wearing blaze orange.

Hiked 14 miles today starting along a ridge top then a 2000+ foot decent to Johns Creek Valley.  Then another climb followed by a 1500 foot decent.  The decents were really bothering my left knee.  Tomorrow is supposed to be an 18 mile day - can't be slow. 

Met one SOBO today.  Nice guy.  He started June 22.  Probably won't finish until after Christmas.

Also met a group of three guys and one girl.  Supposedly they biked across US, are now hiking south to Springer, then will turn around and hike north to Katahdin.  Then they wiil bike back across US in the north.  So far, they are going very slow and carrying too much weight. 

Might be Monday before I can send another update.
