Red Bull and his companions Rd Brd, Cntr, Sqtch, Hppy Ft, J Drt, Sndy Mn, and Aq Mn arrived in Pearisburg, Virginia today. They hiked 18 miles today on the A.T., Pearisburg is at an elevation of 1,650 feet.
They are staying at the Holiday Motor Lodge. They have several types of rooms available; $20 for a bunk in a shared room, $39 for an economy room, or $50 for an "other" room. I do not know what type of accommodations they chose.
Red Bull told me it is pretty much the same group I met in Damascus, with the addition of Aq Mn. Aq Mn had been in Gtr's group a day behind them, when they caught up in Damascus. Instead of taking a zero day with his group, he headed out with Red Bull's group.
When I visited Red Bull in Damascus, he helped me with a couple of Father's Day gifts and signed a card. His father was very happy with his gifts today, wearing one to church and the other to work. He was surprised to see Red Bull's contribution (as well as his first grandchild's)! It involved a bit of planning and sneaking, but was priceless! Thank you Red Bull!
