4-30-15 The bus to marion

In the morning I caught the bus from the Mt. Rogers visitor center which is a faw hundred yards from the shelter. I went to Marion to do laundry and to charge my phone at McDonald's while I used their Wifi. I took the bus back around noon and started to hike. the trail crossed a few cow fields and several streams. I got a late start so I hiked a couple hours after dark and camped on a ridge in the moonlight. Hiking at night is so peaceful and the temperature was perfect. I fell asleep listening to the coyotes calling to each other.
