stung, amazingly, three separate times by three different types of
bees. One had the audacity to go up my shorts. Another nailed poor
Marge right in the middle toe while I ate lunch, and another got me in
the thigh. #%*@$! I have to say that Afterbite stuff works wonders.
I had a lovely 18 mile walk to the Gravel springs hut where I am
camped. The weather was nice and the terrain was fairly easy. I even
had a chance to stop at the last of the SNP waysides for one last
grilled cheese sandwich. It is completely ridiculous how much I
personally contibuted to Aramark's (the concession company running all
the restaurants in the park) bottom line as I hiked through SNP. The
prices of food in those places is absurd, although you really cannot
beat the convenience.
Tomorrow I will arrive at a hostel where I can shower and get
resupplied for a couple of days. It is also where my new sleeping pad
is awaiting my arrival. Yay, sleep!
I will be in Harpers Ferry by Tuesday. It's hard to believe I am
almost halfway there. Virginia has been gorgeous. West Virginia here
I come.
