And a lot of elevation gain – 6276 feet – the most of the whole trip (so far)
Beautiful day in terms of temperature, humidity and landscape but brutal in terms of hills. Today’s posts will be mostly visual – we’ve no internet so bear with us……
We loved today. The uphills were brutal but the downhills were THE BEST!!!! People here are super friendly – I said “hidey” to a group of motorcyclists as I was going downhill and they all loved it – more accolades than my 3rd grade dance recital!
This is a very special part of Appalachia – less poverty but you can tell still very embedded in its roots. We’re enjoying it immensely.
Before we started on our 1500 foot very steep climb there was a bench with the following inscription “I’d turn back now if I were you”. If we had a choice – good advice. That climb was a killer and Mark was a beast getting to the top.
