4-29-15 Back on the trail !

So I took 8 days off and made a speedy recovery, first day back I hiked 15 miles. When I made it to Partnership Shelter my ankle had a little swelling but the pain wasn't bad. This is one of the few shelters you can actually order a pizza to. I threw in with some other hikers and got a Hawaiian. Kind of a celebration of my return to the trail. There is also a shower and a bus goes in to Marion Virginia (12 miles away) 3 times a day for 50 cents. Marion has a walmart and any fast food you can think of. I showered and set up my sleeping bag and spent the night in the shelter. A bunch of hikers built a fire , a hiker played a guitar as we relaxed for the night. This is the good life.
