Done with Tennessee

Right now Kyle and I are sitting in the 24 hr. laundry mat in Damascus Virginia just a few miles from the the Tennessee border. 3 states already completed! As Kyle mentioned in a past post, Virginia contains the most trail of any state (about 25%). You also might be interested to know that we've graduated from 10 to 20 percenters!

I'm still avoiding the Hiker Plague and hope to keep it that way. Tennessee has been one of the most beautiful and adventure/fun filled portions of the trail yet, even though it only took about 4 days to complete. The terrain has beenmostly rolling hills with few steep ascents. Throughout our hiking we have experienced many trail conditions from gravel, to dirt, to leafcovered, to snow encrusted, to completely water ssubmerged, but Tennessee provided us with an even dirt path about 2 feet wide most of the time. We hope to upload more pictures to the slideshow soon, but I'll give you a little preview!
