Hiked 19 miles today!



   Today Red Bull hiked to Partnership Shelter elevation 3,242 feet at mile 532.3 on the A.T.; he hiked 19 miles today!  Wow!

   This shelter actually has a shower, that is very unusual!  I read online comments that it is a "free hot shower" but Red Bull said it was only cold water.  Many hostels and other places charge for showers and laundry facilities.

   The Mt Roger's Visitor Center (Sugar Grove, VA) is 1/4 of a mile from this shelter.  It has a phone available for use outside, and a phone number to order pizza from a local pizza shop.  The pizza place will deliver to the Visitor Center before nightfall.  Red Bull and his companions ordered pizza... of course!

   Not much news other than "This phone keeps dying on me."  Yes, the replacement phone we took to him belongs to one of his sisters, and has a poor battery.  We are still trying to work out a day and place to meet him, to give him his new phone.  Unfortunately, nothing could be saved from his old phone.
